recorded macros have disappeared

I had recorded a number of simple Writer macros in LibreOffice, currently running 4.2.6.3. They were saved under MyMacros → Standard. For some reason they have disappeared.

AFAIK I haven’t done anything to provoke this - I haven’t opened the macros editor in ages and I haven’t done anything with my profile. Nor AFAIK has there been a recent program update (although I might have missed one if it happened in the background).

Where did the macros go and are they recoverable? Because they are simple (in effect, keyboard shortcuts for commonly-used words and special characters) it’s not too much trouble to record them again. But it is annoying and shouldn’t happen. If this is a bug it could be much more serious for some users.

You know about →Tools→→Auto Correction…?
