LibreOffice presently uses a  Microsoft Windows command button layout in its Dialog windows even 
when installed on a Linux distribution. Linux installations of LibreOffice should conform with the 
command button layout that is standard with virtually all other linux applications. For example, MS 
Windows displays "OK   Cancel."  Linux displays "Cancel   OK."
I've uploaded some screenshots to illustrate what I'm describing (http://imgur.com/a/Tmmn1#X7ym4). 
Notice how the screen shots conform with how MS Windows lays out its command buttons instead of how 
Linux applications display them?

MS Windows:    Save       Discard     CancelGNU-Linux:     Cancel     Discard     Save
MS Windows:   OK      Cancel       Help      ResetGNU-Linux:    Reset       Help       Cancel     
OK
