<pre>On Windows, using --help or --version command line switches doesn't produce its
output in the same window it was put to, when there is an instance of
LibreOffice already running.
It is similar to <a class="bz_bug_link

title="RESOLVED WORKSFORME - --help and --version command-line options output nothing if LibreOffice is already running"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=40225">bug 40225</a>, which was WFM'd possibly after
<a href="https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/dfbece50ebaeaf45ea3f016d911b5de7c878afc5">https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/dfbece50ebaeaf45ea3f016d911b5de7c878afc5</a>.
That commit had fixed only non-Windows case. For Windows, these parameters are
still passed from the secondary soffice.bin process to the primary one using
IPC, and are handled there (using a separate console in that case).</pre>
