Devuan uses Debian's packages of libreoffice directly. So, unless this is
related to the desktop-live iso (and I see no particular evidence it is;
fsmithred, do you agree?), you would be better reporting this directly to
Debian's BTS.

A quick search reveals various similar reports, in particular
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122116 which is only fixed
upstream in 6.2.0.2.

Possible workarounds might be to mv .config/libreoffice out of the way try
running from the commandline with the --norestore option.

Hope that helps.

Mark
