When launching from terminal I get "QPaintDevice: Cannot destroy paint device that is being painted" How to fix?

*OS: OpenSUSE 42.3 4.4.114-42-default #1 SMP (b6ee9ae) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Window Manager: Plasma5

LibreOffice: LibreOffice 5.4.5.1 40m0(Build:1)

  1. Tried to launch from the menu. The startup banner appears and then the pop-up for a file recovery appears and immediately goes away.

  2. I go to a terminal using my user account and type "libreoffice" this error message appears:

"QPaintDevice: Cannot destroy paint device that is being painted"

  1. Changed to root account using su (sudo won’t work). Type libreoffice and this message appears:

    /usr/bin # libreoffice
    LibreOffice(6650)/kdeui (kdelibs): Session bus not found
    To circumvent this problem try the following command
    (with Linux and bash)
    export $(dbus-launch)

  2. I type in export $(dbus-launch). I then type libreoffice

    It now works.

This has been on-going for several months now. Any ideas?
