I stick with LTS. I'm not about to trash a machine I'm using for a legitimate
task just to satisfy curiosity.

As the bug report clearly stated.

<blockquote>I'm currently writing "The Minimum You Need to Know About the
Phallus of AGILE" which is tipping the scales around 600 pages. <b>There are
many images.</b></blockquote>

I went here.

https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Did this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo pkcon update

rebooted

Opened a scrap copy of the file with this.
Version: 6.3.3.2
Build ID: 1:6.3.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~lo1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.0; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded


I went to around page 14 and manually typed roughly 1.5 new pages of text,
forcing 2 new page breaks, then I deleted a pre-existing page break.

While it no longer takes 10 minutes to re-shuffle, it's still hoping to one day
get good. I would not call it fixed. This version introduced a rather annoying
"feature" to an almost complete book. The main reason I didn't want to change
this software. AGILE always introduces numerous new points of failure. Now, in
exchange for a tiny speed increase, it looks like every image gets a margin
inside the top of the frame which I cannot fix. See attachment.
