My apologies for not updating to the newest release prior to submitting the bug report.

That said, prior to updating, I restored the original user directory in %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4 and made an attempt to ensure the undesirable behavior still existed.  Interestingly, the behavior did not carry over and behaved as expected.  I then updated to the newest release and was able to confirm that the behavior continued as expected.  I also confirmed the behavior was as expected after disconnecting the external monitors from the laptop, running libreoffice, and then reconnecting the external monitors.
