Hi Mike,

which packages of libreoffice are installed on your system?
What's the output of `apt list '~i~nlibreoffice'` ?
And to which value is the environment variable `SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN` set?
What's the output of `env | grep SAL_USE` ?

SAL_USE* is not set.
With this version of libreoffice you can choose between different so called "Visual Class Libraries" (VCL) ( https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/blob/master/vcl/README.md ). As far as I understand in order to use a VCL other than the standard, you have to install an additional package and set the environment variable SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN. For example, to use the VCL named qt6 install libreoffice-qt6 (maybe it has a version number in its name on your system, try `apt list '~nlibreoffice.*qt6' --all-versions`) and to set SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt6 before starting libreoffice. There are other VCLs like gtk3, gkt4, or gnome etc. 
Maybe you could try one of them.

Jörg.
