Hi Andy,
At first, I suspected something like that also (shutting down without closing
OOo), even though I typically do not shut down without closing applications.
But I thought that possibly I might have done so inadvertently. So once I
became aware of this issue, I made a very deliberate point of first closing
OOo, then shutting down. (And I did this for three days in a row, and had this
problem consistently happen, before I submitted the question about it.) So this
is not the explanation in this case, although I believe you're correct, if I
had done that, I would see the behaviour that I'm noting.
Dick

This is a wild guess, and you may not be doing what I'm suggesting.
I'm guessing that you do not close OOo before shutting down the PC. In that
case it is conceivable that your local status is not saved properly as the
program is aborted rather than terminating normally. Have you tried quitting
OOo and then restarting it to see whether the list is what you expect? If it
fails after that test, then I don't know.
