I tend to think the same: atk-adaptor itself does not do much beyond
transmitting information from libreoffice to at-spi.  But that triggers
code inside libreoffice that wouldn't be executed otherwise, so I guess
the bug is only a side effect inside libreoffice of the presence of
atk-adaptor.

I could reproduce the issue in Stretch indeed (atk-adaptor 2.22.0,
libreoffice 5.2).

I tried to reproduce the bug with Buster (atk-adaptor 2.26.2,
libreoffice 6.0.2), things worked fine.

I also tried to use the straightforward backport of buster's atk-adaptor
2.26.2 into stretch, and could reproduce the issue.

So I believe the issue really was in libreoffice, and is now away.
