hi :) There is a way of installing multiple versions of LibreOffice alongside each other "in parallel" https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
It's not quite straight-forwards but hopefully the wiki-guide there makes it easier. The main thing to avoid is having 2 versions open at the same time as each other. That kinda means closing the "Quickstarter" (which i always avoid anyway (except on Windows)) Pinpointing exactly which version first had the regression sounds like it might help the devs quite a bit!
