I don't know what Pulsar is (a CLI security-related demon?); but Gimp is built
on (and actually created initially) GTK; and as far as I understand (and what I
read), Mozilla TB & FF also use GTK. But LibreOffice has plugins for different
DEs; and it can use GTK (on Gnome) of kf5/6 (on KDE); and on your desktop
environment, which is KDE, it uses kf6.

And it *seems* to me, that it's not "Ctrl+Shift+U works in all applications on
my computer", but rather "I have KDE, but only use the key combination with
apps that are not KDE; and it naturally fails on the app that is *better*
integrated with the DE of my choice".

But you can also force another plugin in LibreOffice; e.g., you may run it once
using a command line like

> SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 libreoffice

or have the environment variable exported from one of your startup scripts.

The gtk plugin may not be installed yet on your system; then it needs to be
installed (see e.g. the normal Ubuntu way to do that, when you used apt to
install LibreOffice (as opposed e.g. to snap): `apt-get install
libreoffice-gtk3` - no idea if there's some difference in your derivative).

Please test if that makes a difference. Also check if the changed look-and-feel
of LibreOffice with that plugin - there *will* be a change in look and feel -
is OK for you, and maybe if it matches the look and feel of Gimp and friends...
