I'm seeing the same thing as in your screenshot, also on Linux Mint 22
(older Python version, otherwise probably the same specs as I built 2.4.1
from source and that required updating all sorts of Qt packages, etc.)

But: I think this might be normal. When I expand paragraphs to a longer
length, the first one is not indented, and the subsequent ones are. So all
you're seeing is standard Article class formatting.[image:
