I'm having hard days with Libre Office Vanilla latest release on Sierra. It ramdomly hangs up (spinning ball). Mostly on file aperture.
Can't fine any other with this problem on Sierra otherwise I could believe Libre Office needs an udate for Sierra
Thanks for any help.

FWIW, LibreOffice, any version, is not working with Sierra. They are working on fix.
LibreOffice Vanilla is developed and placed in the macOS App Store by Collabora Productivity, a UK commercial services firm that develops solutions around the LibreOffice Suite. Your v5.2.2.2 is a pre-release developer build, and is not intended for production usage. That may explain why you are having issues with macOS Sierra.
It is the Document Foundation that provides the official, opensource releases of LibreOffice, and where I exclusively obtain my updates. Collabora Productivity simply provides a support link from their macOS App Store page to the Document Foundation's Community Support page. This is where you should pursue support, as it is not an Apple product.
The one occasion that I decided to try LibreOffice Vanilla, I was unimpressed with it, and replaced it with the real LibreOffice downloaded from the Document Foundation.
[Update. I see dialabrain's note about issues with macOS Sierra, but my Document Foundation sourced v5.2.1.2 appears to work just fine on macOS Sierra.]
FWIW, the "real" LibreOffice from the Document Foundation is not working in Sierra either. At least not with any of my installs or the few others on ask.libreoffice.org.
Well, not really wanting to expend the time to fully regression test LibreOffice v5.2.1.2, I have not encountered any issue with it when opening, creating, saving/exporting documents from LibreOffice Writer on a release version of macOS Sierra. Is there something specific that has been reported broken?
Here's one post. I have another one.
OK. Mine is 5.2.1.2 not 5.2.2.2.
Neither 5.2.2.2 is resolving my isssues. I believe further builds will be neeeded.

You are welcome.
I saw that one. Still, my v5.2.1.2 works the way it should on a 2014 MBA.
I wish mine did. It works on my 2015 MacBook running Sierra. Just not on my Late 2015 5k iMac. Actually only the text editor doesn't work. I tried clearing the font caches and databases to no avail. Tried running it in Safe Mode but before I got very far I found out for some reason Safe Mode is running much slower than normal mode.
Not having the best Mac day.
Same problem with mac iMac 5k late 2015. Typing something in a writer document calls the spinning ball in libre office. A calc document works... libre office version 5.2.1.2 with german language kit.
To whom may be concerned: you can temporarily bypass the problems setting the color gamma into "generic RGB" in System Preferences -> Monitor (Display).
Same problem on iMac 27" 5K late 2015. Libre office Vanilla from the App-store (5.2.1.4) . Your work around just turned out fine !
Thanks
