When I did my tests, the GPU driver was Catalyst 15.11.  I assume that I got
this from Windows Update because I do not have the driver install file for this
version.

  Driver Version:             15.201.1151.1008 (Catalyst 15.11)
  AMD Driver Package Version: 15.201.1151.1008-151104a-296217E
  Driver Date:                03-Nov-2015

I downloaded the latest stable GPU driver from AMD, which was Catalyst 15.7.1. 
It is an older driver than what I originally had.

  Driver Version:              15.200.1062.1004 (Catalyst 15.7.1)
  AMD Driver Package Version:  15.20.1062.1004-150803a1-187674C
  AMD Catalyst Driver Version: 15.7.1
  Driver Date:                 02-Aug-2015

With Catalyst 5.7.1, I repeated scenarios 1 to 4 and got the same results.  The
log files were also the same (except for the driver info) for both driver
versions.

For scenario 1 (clean install of 7.1.6.2, LibreOffice did not start), the only
file in the cache folder was skia.log.  This log only had the following two
lines:

  RenderMethod: raster
  Compiler: Clang

For scenario 3 (Skia disabled, upgrade to 7.1.6.2, LibreOffice started), the
skia.log file did not exist.  The opengl_device.log contained the following
lines:

  DriverVersion: 15.200.1062.1004
  DriverDate: 8-3-2015
  DeviceID: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6898&SUBSYS_03461043&REV_00
  AdapterVendorID: 0x1002
  AdapterDeviceID: 0x6898
  AdapterSubsysID: 0x03461043
  DeviceKey:
System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{EBB2790B-2450-11EB-B421-806E6F6E6963}\0000
  DeviceString: AMD Radeon HD 5800 Series

For some reason, Windows Update does not offer any update to my GPU driver.  So
I am stuck with Catalyst 5.7.1.
