A large part of the window appears off-screen, including the menu
and window controls. Basically, the only thing I can do is to type
Ctrl-Q to quit Libreoffice!

As a workaround, I had to remove my configs (~/.config/libreoffice).

Sigh.

And why is that? Obviously works on one-monitor setups.

And given you apparently use the nvidia driver (see below).... No way to
reproduce this here.

And then it works? What did you set specifically in  that profile which
might got reset and made it working? Did you change something inbetween
which might make LO remember where it was and saved it somehow?

I never will understand the sense in this configuration. Anything you
will get is from unstable anyway.

Try with a sane system?

My machine is a laptop, sometimes with only its screen, sometimes
with 2 external 4K monitors, depending on where I am.

The nouveau driver is unusable with an external monitor (even when
used in mirror mode). The nvidia driver is the only solution with
such a configuration.

I did not set anything special. I rarely use LibreOffice (only when I
need to). And I don't think I have ever changed anything explicitly in
the preferences. In short, I let LibreOffice handle the config on its
own.

That's the default for unstable, except that I added experimental. But
I almost never install packages from experimental, just when I'm asked
to test particular packages. Currently everything has been installed
from unstable (or testing or stable, when this was the latest package
version).

AFAIK, that's just due to the nvidia driver, for the reason explained
above.

Hardwarekauf" (which roughly translates to

"open your eyes when buying hardware"). You got into this situation
yourself.

OK, but I believe it saves it's dimensions when closed, I at laest get
this when williy-nilly dragging the window.

It probably also saves the location..


This would explain your problem. I don't think there is a senseful way
to fix this though. Always start maximized (and automatically on the
current monitor/display)? Probably not.

In any case, this is something for upstream - not Debian to change. And
for that there's reportbug mentioning that upstream bugs should go upstream.

No, it's not.

Adding stable and testing is not. (unstable-debug is understandable, but
also not default.)
Sure.
But there's no need for stable or testing here.

Which proves my point. (I do not care about nvidia.)

This was what I did when buying my laptop 5 years ago, but couldn't
find any reliable information (and obviously it wasn't possible to
test with future additional hardware and future Linux kernels).
And it now seems that nouveau information has been removed from the
Debian wiki, which is in some mess, e.g. section
https://wiki.debian.org/GraphicsCard#nVidia_and_nouveau
just provides a link to NvidiaGraphicsDrivers, which says "This page
describes how to install the NVIDIA proprietary display driver on
Debian systems."

I would have thought that in such a case, it would also save the
screen dimensions (or save the window position/size in percentages).
This is rather obvious to me.

If I run and quit LibreOffice several times with manually moving the
window, then after a few times, it becomes partly off-screen (there's
the same issue for some other applications).

I'll have a look.

IIRC, it was the default or needed or recommended many years ago.
At least for testing. And concerning stable, I can see in my logs,
from 2005:

  * Added the stable distribution since the version of a package
    in stable may be more recent than the version in testing (in
    particular during a freeze).

I've reported the bug upstream and fixed a typo in the bug title.

Dear submitter,

as the package libreoffice has just been removed from the Debian archive
experimental we hereby close the associated bug reports.  We are sorry
that we couldn't deal with your issue properly.

For details on the removal, please see https://bugs.debian.org/1069123

The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using https://snapshot.debian.org/.

Please note that the changes have been done on the master archive and
will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the
earliest.
