You are using the snap version.
Does it work with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

Bug seems to be fixed, in later version.
It persists with the snap version, shipped with Unbuntu. I suppose it's the Ubuntu team, that should update.
