My machine is a laptop, sometimes with only its screen, sometimes
with 2 external 4K monitors, depending on where I am.

The nouveau driver is unusable with an external monitor (even when
used in mirror mode). The nvidia driver is the only solution with
such a configuration.

I did not set anything special. I rarely use LibreOffice (only when I
need to). And I don't think I have ever changed anything explicitly in
the preferences. In short, I let LibreOffice handle the config on its
own.

That's the default for unstable, except that I added experimental. But
I almost never install packages from experimental, just when I'm asked
to test particular packages. Currently everything has been installed
from unstable (or testing or stable, when this was the latest package
version).

AFAIK, that's just due to the nvidia driver, for the reason explained
above.
