I am not sure it is LXDE-specific. I just logged in using the GNOME desktop and can reproduce the problem there as well. libreoffice-gnome and libreoffice-gtk2 installed, but not the libreoffice-gtk3, which is recommended by libreoffice-gnome. Also note that earlier reports of this bug were with XFCE, not LXDE. > I more think people people "usually" don't use LXDE with -gtk2 (or even -gtk3), so people don't notice. > (And task-lxde-desktop also doesn't install -gtk2). That's right, I think I installed it manually long ago. And GNOME users are probably all using libreoffice-gtk3. So the number of affected users might indeed be very low. Given also the low chance of running into this bug, the limited inconvenience it causes and the available workarounds (restarting LO and/or removing libreoffice-gtk2), it might not be worth investigating any further.
