Hi - I'm in a Debian9 (stretch) environment where dpkg -l *gtk* command shows
these three entries for gtk3.  (there are entries for gtk2 as well)  

libgtk-3-0:amd64  3.22.11-1  - GTK+ graphical user interface library
libgtk-3-bin  3.22.11-1  - programs for GTK+ GUI library
libgtk-3-common  3.22.11-1  - common files for the GTK+ GUI library

Not sure where to go from here other than to confirm Patrick Addy's bug report
that LibreOffice CALC pivot tables have not worked (for me) for several
months/releases. 

 I have worked around it by using the older version 5.x or now, 6.0.6.2 as
noted in Comment #11.  Something in LibreOffice changed that made drag & drop
non-functional.  I don't know if it is related to gtk.  My linux environment
hasn't changed.  The problem surfaced with a LibreOffice update, and I can go
back to an older LibreOffice version to get functional pivot tables.  

Lastly, I *do* have ver 6.2.2 of LibreOffice installed from .deb files.  Pivot
Tables don't work.  I have not un-installed it.  I've been experimenting with
the AppImages as noted in Comment #11.  

If you have any thoughts on how I might try to force a change in gtk3 or
something else to make drag & drop work with current versions of LibreOffice,
I'm all ears.  As are other users of Google Chromebooks that use Linux apps.  

One test I could run is try an AppImage that HAS gtk3 within the AppImage. That
might offer insight as to whether gtk3 is the culprit or not.
