Yes, please do.

This concerns me. The dual GPUs are supposed to be a power saving feature.
But, there is a good chance that with the dual GPU, on execution LibreOffice
is not being assigned to the higher performance AMD Radeon HD 8500M/8700M
series GPU and is running poorly on the HD 7600G series.

There should be a utility with the Radeon software to specify programs that
require execution on the high performance GPU.

Also, would need the content of  the LibreOffice opengl_device.log file as
that should record which GPU and more importantly the driver signature that
LibreOffice uses to enable or disable OpenGL support. 

Another helpful diagnostic utility would be a summary run from the OpenGL
Extensions Viewer by realtech-vr available here:
