Hi :) Just because 1 person likes it doesn't mean anyone else should. Even if you don't know exactly when the behaviour changed you can still post a bug-report and just try to let them know roughly the last time you remember the behaviour being the way you liked. It can be pinned down more precisely later. People are on quite a few different versions of LO at the moment so maybe some help from others might do it.
Really bug-reports and "feature requests" all get posted the same way. The option to post as "feature request" is at the bottom of one of the drop-downs in the bug-report. So it's reasonably easy to change that later too! :) The important thing is to post something. It can be finessed later. I've not looked into memory settings but that has to be worth exploring, maybe after posting the bug-report. If the memory issue or something else fixes it you can always close the bug.
