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.  


Regards from 

Tom :)
