Hi :) MS Office has similar number of clicks to select similar areas. Most programs follow the same convention but it's fairly new so people might not have noticed yet.
My approach is a bit of a blunderbuss rather than to try to find tiny details. If LibreOffice starts acting weirdly then one of my 1st steps is to rename the UserProfile https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile which is roughly equivalent to what people often think a reinstall does. Of course a reinstall just picks up the existing settings, configurations, galleries, templates and all that from the previous version so it doesn't "get back to factory defaults". Renaming the user-profile does and it's much easier to do, plus it makes it easier to back-up your setting and all that.
