Screenshot

In certain remote desktop connections text is not written in some dialogs.
One such dialog is Writer's Tools -> AutoText... (see attached screenshot, Name and Shortcut texts are not there)

This is a regression, and has been bibisected to the following commit:

"tdf#103831, tdf#100986: Force using GDI when needed"

Khaled, any thoughts what might be causing this? It doesn't even occur in all remote desktop connections, only in certain ones.

@Aron, so are the remote sessions to Windows systems via RDP? What OS and version of RDP?

If Windows only, is this another manifestation of see also bug 107166?
Comment 2 Aron Budea 2017-05-19 07:06:53 UTC
The host is a Windows 2008 server system, the client is Windows 7.

Hm, there seems to be some similarity between this and bug 107166, but here the bug is much less aggressive, the text is mostly visible, except in certain dialogs (quite many dialogs, actually).

Just managed to reproduce this with an old Matrox Millennium P690, so it's not remote-desktop-only.

Still only a few pieces of text is missing, like in the screenshot, and not all the text, like in bug 107166 (though the two bugs could still be caused by the same change).

As it turns out this is a duplicate, or rather a less serious case of bug 107166.
