LibreOffice 4.0 text

In LibreOffice 5.0, all the text is blurry on my HiDPI Linux box, and looks worse than the previous versions. I'm including a screenshot of 4.4.5 and 5.0 for comparison.

I've disabled both options in the UI for anti-aliasing and have the UI scaling at 100%.

I found out that this bug is an issue only for distros that use the LibreOffice Gtk 3 support.
 
Arch enabled it in their new release. I filed a bug asking them to go back to Gtk2: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45916?project=1&opened=16914

I still think this bug should be fixed, but the priority depends on how many distros are using the Gtk 3 support.
