Dragging any dialog window in LibreOffice also moves the main window on Ubuntu 24.04.02 LTS

When using LibreOffice on Ubuntu 24.04.02 LTS, dragging any dialog window (e.g., file open, settings, about, etc.) causes the main LibreOffice window to move simultaneously. This issue occurs consistently across LibreOffice versions 25.2.1.2 and 24.7.2, both when installed on the system and when running from a USB with a pre-installed version.

I have uploaded a screen recording demonstrating the issue to the following link: google drive link

I found a solution here: link

It happens because the pop-up is attached to the main window. This can be resolved by using the GNOME Tweaks tool.

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Next, navigate to the “Windows” section and disable the “Attach Modal Dialogs” option.
