Laurence, thank you for reporting the bug. Could you please retest in SafeMode (Help -> Restart in SafeMode)? If bug is also reproducible in SafeMode, please paste informations from Help -> About LibreOffice. Than you

Comment 2 Laurence Smart 2022-02-02 21:56:07 UTC 
You it does the same in safe mode.

BTW it also occurs when I use some of the icons on the formatting toolbar, but I haven't documented those.

So perhaps a Linux issue. I can't test it. So I hope somebody else can help.

Same problem here. System is openSuse Leap 15.3, LibreOffice is directly from libreoffice.org.

Info from Help --> About LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.5.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 499f9727c189e6ef3471021d6132d4c694f357e5
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)

It seems the bug is related to the kde integration
libobasis7.2-kde-integration - KDE integration module for LibreOffice 7.2.5.2

Uninstalling 
libobasis7.2-kde-integration - KDE integration module for LibreOffice 7.2.5.2
fixes it.
But then the kde file dialog is gone. So this workaround is not that nice.
There was no such problem with LibreOffice 7.1.

I found a related bug report in the openSuse bug tracker
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192715
