Hi :) There are likely to be differences between the official TDF version and any version in any distros repos because they tend to tweak them a little to fit in better. It doesn't usually make things go wonky but appears to have broken something for you this time.
Noob-friendly "gateway" distros such as Ubuntu/Debian family are great for starting out with Gnu&Linux but once you get into tweaking things yourself you might enjoy giving Arch or Slackware a try. There are a lot of distros in between the 2 extremes. Slackware usually tries to do the least amount of tweaking for most packages but apparently Arch has better documentation to help set the whole thing up. If i went this route i would dual-boot with Ubuntu/Debian for a while by installing Arch or Slackware on a new partition. I don't think i would go this route at all tho. I prefer sticking with Ubuntu as articles appear in fairly mainstream media about it and i bump into people that are using it.

Yes, did that and it worked fine. I also do some strange things like replace the dictionary files with symbolic links into my working directories so that they get shared and synchronised between my different devices. > You can always try the repo version another > time and then perhaps do a parallel install after that maybe. Since I noticed that the debian testing repository is allegedly the same version as TDF's (3.4.6-602) I tried using it but the problem came back. So I'll stick with TDF's version for now and wait for a new release.
