As you can see from the attachment, it *is*
possible to tame the beast,
but damned if I can remember how I did it, as it's been a few years.
I think it's 90% GTK3 theming and 10% Tools > Options > Application

If you invoke Help > About, there's a "User Interface" line near the
bottom. What does it say for you? I have "UI render: default; VCL: gtk3".

a-HA!
I knew you had been holding out on me!
;-) But I suspected there was some way like this.
Mine says "UI render: default: VCL: x11.
How to change x11 to gtk3, then?
There's an environment variable, SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN. You want
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 . (You can also try =qt5 , but I don't know
what results you'll get, as it seems to have problems on some non-KDE5
platforms.) Currently I think you may have =generic .
I don't have it set, but I also, in typical Gentoo fashion, compiled my own
copy of LibreOffice with only some widget sets enabled.
