@MK : does this happen if you grant the newly installed app bundle full disk access in the security settings ?
Sounds very much like bug 128233 to me.
See in particular #c59 of bug 128233
Hi @Alex, I gave version 7.1.8. (installed over version 7.0.5) full disk access, in an attempt to rescue the spreadsheet, but it did not help. I just found that version 7.1.8. (installed without a previous version) still has full disk access. I removed full disk access, rebooted the Mac: saving is possible but creates the 2 "impersonate" problem log messages. You wrote in #c59 of bug 128233 The app should prompt the user each time it requires access to an as yet unauthorised folder (be that local or remote), including on installation of a new version. Version 7.1.8. (installed without a previous version) can save without a prompt for consent. Does the consent you and VMWARE mention only apply to sandboxed applications? VMWARE = https://techzone.vmware.com/blog/vmware-workspace-one-uem-apple-macos-mojave-user-consent-data-access Is LibreOffice sandboxed? As I read the log message, it is not and therefore it uses a depricated method for saving.
Following https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Security/Conceptual/AppSandboxDesignGuide/AppSandboxQuickStart/AppSandboxQuickStart.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011183-CH2-SW2 - In Activity Monitor, check that the system recognizes the app as sandboxed. - Launch Activity Monitor (available in /Applications/Utilities). - In Activity Monitor, choose View > Columns. - Ensure that the Sandbox menu item is checked. - In the Sandbox column, confirm that the value for the Quick Start app is Yes. - To make it easier to locate the app in Activity monitor, enter the name of the Quick Start app in the Filter field. Search for LibreOffice and find it not sandboxed.
The sandbox warning helps is of little help to find the root cause: - If LibreOffice cannot open the save dialog, the sandbox warning is not created. - If LibreOffice can open the save dialog, the sandbox warning is created. - LibreOffice is not sandboxed.

No repro with Version: 7.2.5.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 499f9727c189e6ef3471021d6132d4c694f357e5 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded Note that I'm using Monterey, not Mojave. When I try to save a newly created Calc file for example, in the default "Documents" folder, I get asked whether to allow LO access to the folder. As I generally tend not to save my files there, I save the file to my Downloads folder (which already has disk access authorisation). I checked the system logs to see if any cfprefsd warnings were logged - there were none.
Do you still have this issue on 7.5?
I no longer have a Mac
