Screenshot of "bad" LO7
This is LO 7.1.2.2 built from FreeBSD ports on powerpc64 (big endian), FreeBSD 14-CURRENT.

This is the screenshot of the working LO6 (6.4.7) built from FreeBSD ports on powerpc64 FreeBSD 14-CURRENT. Built with the same options as LO7, which includes:
COINMP off
CUPS on
DOCS on
GNOME off
GTK3 off
JAVA off
KF5 off
LTO off
MARIADB off
MMEDIA on
PGSQL off
QT5 on
SDK off
TEST off
WEBDAV off
I'm guessing just the QT5 setting is significant here, since it's a rendering issue.
Could you try this? export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen && soffice then test your file. (In reply to Julien Nabet from comment #3) > Could you try this? > export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen && soffice > then test your file. Hi Julien, I just tried this, and still saw similar corruption. Instead of everything being a strange pale yellow, the background around the document is black, and the background of the document of the area I posted a screenshot of earlier is black.

On FreeBSD powerpc64 LibreOffice is configured with --disable-skia, otherwise it doesn't even compile. It looks like at least a stub gets compiled, but I haven't looked at that code. I don't know to what correspond "build from ports", for example is it the same as building from git sources directly? Anyway, the best thing would be to build from master sources (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnLinux#Cloning_and_building) so you got the most up-to-date. I'd use "enable-dbgutil" option to have max details. Of course, it needs time to build and space too.

Ports is FreeBSD's third party package build framework, that applies patches and builds packages. So it's equivalent to building from the version tarball (7.1.1.2 in this case), with applying needed patches. For LibreOffice, the ports bits can be found at https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/editors/libreoffice with the necessary patches under the files/ directory. I haven't forgotten about this, been running into problems building with dbgutil, due to requiring building all dependencies in-house, not allowing system dependencies. Packages like nss are failing, which bring down the whole thing. I'll continue trying. A new major major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Dear chmeeedalf+lo, This bug has been in NEEDINFO status with no change for at least 6 months. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDINFO status with no change in 30 days the QA team will close the bug as INSUFFICIENTDATA due to lack of needed information.
