libreoffice only starts in safe mode

May I ask why only using "libreoffice --safe-mode" can get the app starting up ?

Here is the /var/log/pacman.log

Re: libreoffice only starts in safe mode

What happens, if you start libreoffice from terminal ?
Please post the complete command + output.

And for a 1st testing: temporarily rename .config/libreoffice and then retry.

Re: libreoffice only starts in safe mode

I did "rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice" before trying to trigger the starting of "libreoffice", but to no avail.

"libreoffice" alone on terminal gave no command-line text output.  Not sure why.

Re: libreoffice only starts in safe mode

When you start in safe mode, there is a pop-up window in libreoffice to configure some settings, e.g. disable hardware acceleration etc. Did you try them all ?
Anything relevant in dmesg or journalctl after a failed libreoffice start ?
When did the issue starts, with last update ?

Another idea is to switch from libreoffice-fresh to libreoffice-still (at least for testing), see the arch wiki for more details.
