Don't know. Indeed it shouldn't happen. Are you saving the documents 
in LibreOffice's native .odt format or (unwisely) in some foreign format?

There sure is. Search for "TM" and replace with "TM" (no quotes). Put 
the cursor in the "Replace with" field and click Format... . Under 
Position, select Superscript. You might not want to Replace All, or 
you will change things such as "uTMost"!

Incidentally, you very probably shouldn't be using two superscripted 
capital letters for this, but instead the single Unicode character 
"TRADE MARK SIGN" (U+2122), which you should find in all normal 
fonts. Find this at Insert | Special Character...; no need for superscripting.

I trust this helps.
