In my opinion, there's no need to take screen orientation into account here.
The same issue can occur even on landscape monitors simply by reducing the zoom
level.

Instead, I believe the root cause lies in how the document is currently fixed
to the top center of the screen, combined with the restriction that vertical
scrolling stops at the top edge of the document.

Therefore, if LibreOffice Writer adopted the same document alignment and
vertical scrolling behavior as LibreOffice Draw, users—including myself—could
work more comfortably regardless of their monitor's orientation.
