Hi :) I think you'd be amazed how much easier it is to report a 2nd bug. The first time there is stuff such as registering on the bug-tracker website and a bit of faffing around plus the whole idea is a bit unfamiliar and there are unexpected things to distract you. The 2nd time you don't need to register and you realise that you can ignore most of the faff&distractions.
I must admit i've never had a problem with hyphenations except in MS Publisher. Similarly with most of the problems. Also i find i don't need any Extensions. It might help if we knew which OS you are using (Win8, Xp, Ubuntu, Mac or whatever else) and also which version of LO.
