New Ubuntu PPA for 5.2.4.2

Hi:

This morning I got an automatic update of LibreOffice to:
Version: 5.2.4.2
Build ID: 1:5.2.4~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

through a PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/libreoffice-5-0/ubuntu
xenial main). I'm using Ubuntu 16.04. I was using 5.2.3.2 prior to the
update and it (nor any previous version) did not have this behavior.

When loading any file in Writer or Calc (the only modules I use), the load
progress bar at the bottom of the screen runs about 80-90% across, and then
sits for quite a long while before the file finally completes loading.
During the time the bar is sitting at 90%, it looks like there is another
bar that begins progressing across the screen above the first one (that
might be normal, but the bar was never there long enough to notice in
earlier versions).

Before removing LibreOffice and installing an earlier version, I was
wondering if anyone else has experienced this behavior or has any
suggestions as to what might be happening or why. I've tried the usual
rebooting and such things, but no change.

Thanks ...
