Thank you; very helpful - I expect Tor may have some time to look at
some of these.
Great!
Aside, while looking at bug this bug it occurred to me, why does LO
support macOS 10.10?
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101956
macOS 10.10 was released almost six years ago, and haven’t had security
updates since July 2017
Minimum runtime support is evaluated periodically based on OS version
market share vs. our maintenance burden & potential wins regarding new
language and platform features.
Since LibO 6.3 release we can see 10.10 market share has fallen
approximately 2 percentage points to 3.18% of macOS versions in use:

An argument to bump the minimum macOS version based on platform wins
might be that 10.11 introduced the Metal API and Skia includes a Metal
backend (described in Skia milestone 83 release notes as actively
maintained: https://skia.org/user/release/release_notes "MoltenVK
support removed. Use Metal backend instead.")
Following the end-of-life schedule of OS vendors does not really make
sense for us. Windows 7 still has 19.44% share of Win versions:

(really promising drop from 33.78% last year, though!)
