I am running the latest still (5.1.5) downloaded today. The installation completed smoothly. The first time I go to run LibreOffice I am prompted for user account privilege escalation. After I give authorization, the program resets my display resolution to be 640x480 and 8-bit color. I am able to re-set the resolution manually, but the LibreOffice window still looks as though it was laid out in 8- or 16-bit color.
Sometimes interacting with the menus or dialogs will spontaneously reset the display resolution to 640x480 without warning.
When I exit LibreOffice, the screen returns to its normal resolution.
Prior versions of LibreOffice were working fine, but this behavior started after upgrading to the latest version.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to no avail. I tried upgrading the laptop’s video drivers, to no avail.
Please help! this is my mother’s computer- all she wants to do is work on her documents. She is very superstitious about upgrades, and this situation does not help.
