even when "prefer light mode" is enabled

Description:
My Linux system have a dark theme, and when I launched LibreOffice for the
first time it appeared in a dark theme. I thought that it was just using the
system's theme to match, but when I checked in Tools -> Options... ->
LibreOffice -> View the Mode was set to Light. And doesn't matter what I did,
LibreOffice just refuses to switch to Light mode. I tried:
1. Set LibreOffice to Dark mode, click ok, restart, and set to Light mode
again. (No difference).
2. I went to system's theme settings and set "prefer light mode", this option
tells applications that I want to use their light theme. When I enabled this,
my Firefox switched to a light theme. But it didn't work in LibreOffice.
3. Reinstall LibreOffice completely. (No difference)
4. Restart LibreOffice in safe mode. (No difference)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set system to a dark theme.
2. Open LibreOffice.
3. Go in Tools -> Options... -> LibreOffice -> View
4. Set Mode to 'Light'
5. Click 'Apply' then 'OK'
Actual Results:
LibreOffice does nothing.
Expected Results:
LibreOffice switches to Light theme.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
