Re: [libreoffice-users] Trouble with Libre interface

I've encountered this problem before. Two manual things I've done that have
resolved it and a 3rd I just thought of that someone else might know if it
works.

#1 - using mouse
. Start LibreOffice
. Hover the mouse over the tiny window
. When the mouse pointer becomes a double-headed arrow (any orientation;
horizontal, vertical, diagonal)
. Click and drag to enlarge the tiny window
. Grow the window until the window controls become visible, close the
window do NOT maximize it
. Restart LibreOffice, the window should be the size it was when closed a
moment ago

#2 - using keyboard, best when window is difficult to grab with mouse
(presumes Windows or Linux)
. Start LibreOffice
. Press Alt+Space
. Press down arrow until "Resize" menu item selected
. Press enter, Resize is selected mouse pointer has become four pointed
arrow
. Press the arrow key (up, down, left, right) in the direction to grow the
window
. * - first press makes pointer jump to window edge in that direction
. * - subsequent press grow window in that direction
. * - Esc finishes the action
. Grow the window until the window controls become visible, close the
window do NOT maximize it
. Restart LibreOffice, the window should be the size it was when closed a
moment ago

#3 - have not tried
. try starting in LibreOffice in Safe Mode "...Safe mode is a mode where
LibreOffice temporarily starts with a fresh user profile and disables
hardware acceleration. It helps to restore a non-working LibreOffice
instance" (from the docs)
