--- Comment #3 from matthewnote at yahoo.co.uk ---
User Workaround (Windows 10) using LibreOffice 5 until bug fix.
User Workaround (Linux) uses AppImage or parallel installation.

Parallel LibreOffice version 5 on Windows computer for file repair (every day
or week or only when it's got chart problems).
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
For Windows, "without touching the stable (your actual) installation"

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Windows
suggests using a GUI Graphic User Interface (a window for selecting which
version 5 you wish to try or use)
"The Fastest/Easiest Way: The Separate Install GUI is a powerful tool that will
help you manage multiple installations of LibreOffice on Windows."

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/SI-GUI
"The program (SI-GUI) can be downloaded from"

A separate icon or .exe will be created somewhere that will not disturb your
actual permanent installation.  LibreOffice 5.4.7 is the latest and last
version tested here that refreshes files.

If the file to be reviewed (using calc 5) is from Calc 6 or 7, User checks if
version 5.4.7 has all the FUNCTIONs the file includes.  For example, very new
Libreoffice calc versions may have a statistics averaging function like double
exponential. A project with that particular new function may not be able to
File>Save, File>Close, File>Open with Calc5 without losing the statistics cell
contents.
