--- Comment #11 from Timo Jyrinki <timo.jyrinki+libreoffice at iki.fi> ---
Still happens with LibreOffice 6.4.2 from PPA
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-6-4

Basically libreoffice --calc works the first time, the second time there's the
warning about infinite surface size and static image copied from elsewhere is
shown instead of Calc. rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice and it again works, but
only once (just opening, closing and opening again triggers the problem).

Using GNOME Flashback (Compiz) session on Ubuntu 18.04. Maybe easiest to
install with: apt install gnome-flashback compiz (need to reboot or restart gdm
for new session types to appear)

I can only debug this machine remotely and rarely, and there seems to be
variations of this behavior. For example I tried to fix the problem with stock
18.04's LibreOffice (6.0.7) by upgrading to the PPA, and it seemed to fix the
problem. It was possible to open many files for some days.

The exact details might be related to the multi monitor setup in use, which
display the office opens on, or for example if libreoffice was made full screen
or windowed before closing. It's still a mystery how the behavior can be
triggered from "outside" LibreOffice ie something changes and then even
removing .config/libreoffice does not make it functional anymore for more than
one time or anything else that comes to mind.

I've now asked the user to switch to GNOME Flashback (Metacity) instead of
Compiz and trying out like that now.
