RC2 is bit by bit identical with release version, so separate items in the version picker are useless. Changes have been discussed with Michael Meeks.

LOL :-(
3.4.0 on Ubuntu says I need a password of 96 characters
Comment 3 Cor Nouws 2011-06-15 00:21:58 UTC
Second time during the same session, a length of 32268 is required.

Just saw fdo#36951 in the 2011-20 commit log. Related?

It's a random garbage from memory, because the variable is not initialised.

No, not related, that was just a UI misbehaviour. 

I pushed a fix to master for this bug:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-core/commit/?id=6ab5952f6d952e5f96428b631e91a208ea21d4aa
I tried it and it fixed the issue. If reviewers find it good enough, then it will be in 3.4.1.
