I am a subcontractor adapting MS Word DOTX templates to OO/LO for an
international IT consortium for its primary contractor. They prefer LO
over OO because of LO's limited ability to import MS Visio VSD graphics.
Unfortunately, version 3.5 is the first LO version to import VSD
graphics (open the VSD with Draw, select and copy the graphics onto the
clipboard, and paste into Writer, BTW).
So, like it or not, I must employ v 3.5. I generally like it.
Some of my (only a few) problems could have originated with v 3.4.x or
the 3.5 betas. Who knows? I also noticed that all the borders of about
half of the dozen or more tables in one OTT template had disappeared
recently.

Perhaps one of your Extensions is messing things up? Perhaps try renaming your
user profile to see if that helps

It's not clear what module/app of LO you were using nor which "basic
functions". Most of the apps have managed top write out a lot of java dependency
but there is still some in the wizards and of course in the Extensions. If you are using
Base then it would be a good idea to move your data out of the embedded HSqlDb into an
external back-end, as people have been suggesting for over a year now.
It seems a lot of people have been having problems with the 3.5.0 and so it has often been recommended that people go back to the 3.4.5. Crashes seem pretty rare tho even in the 3.5.0. Note that the 3.5.1 has still not been released so it might be a good time to test it and post bug-reports against it to help get things fixed for the 3.5.x branch.

Unfortunately, starting a few days ago, v 3.5.0 kept systematically
crashing while performing basic tasks, requiring a lengthy irksome
restart, etc. each time.
The dialog box warning specified that a JRE was not present. Knowing
just where in the Options to check for the Java JRE (a relatively simple
no-brainer for most...), it was obvious that there was no JRE installed
automatically, as was the case for eons already.
Installing a JRE to effect Java1.7 stopped all such crashes since.

OOo used to install java while it was being installed. However, java upgrades
so often nowadays, that the safest way to keep up is to let the users upgrade
java separately. LO 3.5.0 was meant to work with java 1.7.0 but the 1.7.0 has
still not been released properly yet. There were rumours that malware was
already able to compromise the 1.7.0. Avoiding java seems like a good aim.
Just my 2cents.
I'm not sure about the ToC issue either tbh.

We are the documentation (user guides, translations, manuals) and honestly
most of us know squat about the inner functionalities of the program per
se.
Please subscribe to the user list or dev list or make a bug report.
Sorry, but you are talking to the wrong crowd :)))

I came across a series of crashes a couple days ago because Java was not
installed with 3.5. Checking through the Options showed that no Java JRE
was automatically installed. So, checking my hard drive showed that my
system had two versions of JREs.
Manually adding the more recent (possibly, a year old) JRE through the
Options fixed that problem--version 1.7 was installed, BTW.
On another matter, I am experiencing some problems with generating a ToC,
which seem transitory, and quite likely are bug-related.
Beta 3.5 did not install all those numerous list paragraph styles that
earlier OO and LO versions did . However, the 3.5.0 release has reinstalled
them--as before--it seems.
