--- Comment #7 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at tuta.io> ---
Ubuntu PPAs have repeatedly shown themselves to the be source of numerous
problems, and you can not unfortunately simply assume that any given version
will work correctly over the top of an existing LibreOffice version, especially
if you didn't purge all of the pre-existing LO version files beforehand, AND
their dependencies...

>From what I recall, the LO version included in the distribution links to the
jars required for Java functionality, including hsqldb.jar, in a special
system-wide way, which I'm guessing overrides part of your user LO
configuration profile.

As Robert has suggested, the best way to test that this is specific to your
environment is to download the independently provided LO DEB packages and
install those in parallel to your existing LO version (PPA), or even better,
remove the PPA and any dependencies, and just install the LO DEBS with the TDF
provided packages (of course, you won't get the same degree of system
integration on the desktop)
