It seems like libreoffice its trying to handle gtk widgets its own way and get confused there, that's not desktop dependent so likely a libreoffice issue

Other corners and sides works fine for resizing the window. A screenshot of this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/749986/+attachment/2078779/+files/Libreoffice_resize-grip.png WORKAROUND: Resize using the top left and right corners or ALT+F8 and use the keyboard. WORKAROUND: create a .gtkrc-2.0__libreoffice file in your home directory, with the following content: style "default-style" { GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0 GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 0 } class "GtkWidget" style "default-style" and then launch libreoffice writer (or another component) with the command: GTK2_RC_FILES=.gtkrc-2.0__libreoffice libreoffice -writer WORKAROUND: Make sure the black arrow pointing down and right shows up, then resize is successful.
