2. Syslog message:

org.gnome.Shell.desktop[4355]: Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x9000024 specified for 0x9000965 (LibreOffic).

6.0.7 is quite an old LO version.
6.0, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 branches are EOL.
Please give a try to a recent LO version, 6.4.5 is last one but 6.4.4 can be found here:
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Also, you can upgrade to new Ubuntu LTS 20.04

Thanks Julien. 

I'd have hoped that the snaps installed by default on Ubuntu 18.04 would have been kept up to date.

I am happy to report that it doesn't happen with 6.4.5.2.

Thank you for your quick feedback.
I supposed you meant 6.4.4 but anyway let's put this one to WFM then.
About Ubuntu, I don't know how they manage their packages so can't tell.

> I supposed you meant 6.4.4

Nope! It's another snap and it's packaged by Canonical making it more puzzling.
