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.

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.
Best regards,
Peter
