I created a patch for https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38713

The way to create a patch is quite simple,
1. Install 'git' for your operating system. Google for more or ask here.
2. Run

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-core

3. Then, enter the libs-core/ directory, find your file and perform the change.
4. Finally, run

git diff

and it will create a diff that can be sent to bug reports.
