The first thing to do when experiencing problems like this is make sure
you are on the current version of whatever point release you are
running. In your case that would be 2.2.10. Then if you still experience
the problem, come back and re-ask...

If you are unable to update due to some kind of 'LTS' restrictions
enforced by your chosen OS, then your first line of support should be
from them - otherwise, what is the point of using that OS?

Also, they would be the ones that would have to back-port any fixes from
more recent releases to your 'stable' version.
