No, it's not. We've established that many moons ago ;-)

And yes, of course it works great on an old MacBook Air because the problem
only arises on high-resolution Retina displays, not on low-resolution standard
displays where LibreOffice continues to run perfectly fine and smooth.
Unfortunately, Apple stopped selling low-resolution low-DPI iMacs in 2013,
low-resolution low-DPI MacBook Pros in 2012, and low-resolution low-DPI MacBook
Airs in 2018. Their last product with a low-resolution low-DPI display, the
2017 MacBook Air, was discontinued with the introduction of the 2018 Retina
MacBook Air more than two years ago.

I was afraid of that, thank you for confirming. This basically means that
LibreOffice for macOS is dead since it's completely and utterly unusable on
every Mac sold since 2018, and most Macs sold since 2012.
