Drawing changing without user modifications

This post was updated on .
I've had frequent changes to my drawings without actually making any changes myself. I'm trying to figure out if these are bugs, user error or what. Are any of these known bugs? Is there a way to avoid these issues?

A few examples:
1. Dimension value positions randomly change from their assigned position. This sometimes happens in a predictable way where you might move the value to a different position from the one it was originally placed at, save the file, print the file confirming everything's in the right place, quit the program, start again and the value position has moved (usually back to the location it was at before the change). This is random. Sometimes it will change, sometimes not.

2. Hatches mysteriously disappear when they've been stable for multiple saves and all of a sudden you open the file again and some are missing. Again, this is after saving the file then successfully printing the drawing with hatches then quiting, opening the file again. A message might appear in the command terminal window like Hatch failed due to a gap=0.000459549 between (35.0589, 316.716) and (35.0589, 316.716). Note this is a supposed gap between a point and itself. It's also in the middle of a straight line so I have no idea how a single line would have a gap in it. These are hatches for polylines that have been untouched in locked layers so I have no idea how untouched closed polylines all of a sudden have gaps.

3. Printing or exporting to PDF doesn't print hatching and appears to truncate the bottom of the drawing. There is no setting option for scaling the print to fit the page in the Print to PDF dialog. There is one in the print to printer dialog.

Edited to point out the gap reported by LibreCAD is between a point and itself (impossible???).

could you please
1) provide information about exact version of LibreCAD? It may be found in help menu
2) may you share example DXF files where you see such issues?
3) try to check whether such unexpected modifications are obeservable in 2.2.2 alpha branch (https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases/tag/2.2.2_alpha-latest)
Thank you!
