Good day,
I upgraded to the latest version of macOS Catalina and used the previous version of LibreOffice with no problem.
I upgraded LibreOffice to Version: 6.3.2.2 and it does not want to ‘save’, ‘save as’ or ‘save a copy’ any documents. There is only a multicolour disk spinning, then for a new document states it has not been saved and for existing documents the spinning disc just disappears without saving it. How can I make it work?
Think a quick workaround is to manually set Full Disk Access for LibreOffice
in System Preferences
Click Security & Privacy
Select Privacy
On the right click ‘Full Disk Access’
Click on the ‘+’ to add a new application
select LibreOffice
Exit for settings to take effect.

I tried this and it didn’t work. I still get the spinning disk.
Yes, indeed, this morning, I opened a new writer document from out of Calc environment, and the spinning disk was back. This is what I did, and LUCKILY it hopped over the glitch: I closed LO totally and opened it again. Created a new writer document and saved it immediately. This problem is a bit more severe than I thought. I hope we can receive a sound technical solution for it.
Set Full Disk Access for LibreOffice manually in Catalina in System Preferences,
Quit LibreOffice if it is open.
System Preferences > Security & Privacy [Unlock if needed] >
Select Privacy Tab > on the left, scroll and click 'Full Disk Access’.
In the window on the right find LibreOffice and click the box and close the window.
If LibreOffice isn’t present, you need to put it there
Click on the '+’
That will open the Applications section in Finder.
Select LibreOffice > (The Open button should turn blue) Click Open.
Verify that the box next to LibreOffice is checked.
Exit for settings to take effect.
I also have the same issue, however, it appears that I cannot do a save as for a spreadsheet with formulas in it. Nor can I do a save as with a document. Have the latest version of both LibreOffice and Catalina.
