Edit Dialog boxes showing problem with Reference value

The summary indicates a symptom not the problem.

Procedure.

1. Ctrl-F2 (Variable tab)   User Field Variable (w/text format) and apply.
2. Input Field variable, with just-created User Field, insert.
3. Right-click on Inserted variable > Edit Field.

Actual result:  

1.  Slowly the edit dialog box will appear.
2.  The reference field shows diverse characters (see attachment)

Expected result:
1. Edit Dialog box quickly appears
2. Reference field should contain the string shown in the inserted variable.

Additional information.
1.  Works properly if Set Variable is used to make Variable for input box.
2.  Several times, LO froze or crashed when I tried this (as part of a regular
editing session, making different variables and inserting different input
variables -- but could not find a simple recipe to reproduce).  But the problem
with the reference field happened consistently in all cases.
3.  Does not occur with LO 6.3.4.2</pre>
