disappearing_text.gif

Hi,
using LibreOffice Calc 5.3.4.2 on Windows 7. I have recorded video of several problems when text just disappears from dialogs.
Problem in my video recording are ALWAYS reproducible on my PC. Beside those problems are plenty of additional disappearing text problems that I can't always reproduce, but are appearing time to time like "Sheet1" tab (at the bottom) losing text (just empty tab without text) and similar.

I have been using LibreOffice for years actually from day 1 of first release and I installed many of the LibreOffice versions on my computer over time and have never seen this problem before. It started appearing in 5.3.3. Before I have been using 5.2.x, I don't like to install LibreOffice when it gets out, I always wait e.g. 3 fixes on stable version.
Regards

Actually it looks more like a duplicate of bug 105863

I'd opt for bug 107166.

Yes this is a duplicate of 107166, first screens of the gif show OP not in OpenGL mode, so this is not bug 107764

from the video...

I have made several tests:
1. In existing version (5.3.4.2) deleted profile, so I deleted subfolder of C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\
2. Tools | Options | LibreOffice | View | Graphics Output | unchecked all of the options
3. Closed down LibreOffice.
4. Deleted profile again (step 1).
5. From Windows Task Manager (Show processes from all users) kill soffice.bin to make sure LibreOffice is really down.
6. Restarted and Edit | "Find & Replace" and there is no text in front of input boxes (just like in the video).

So new profile, everything related to hardware accelerations turned off problem remains.

Now decided to ping pong the problem.
Downloaded nightly from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ the same problem. And then downloading installing version after version from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

Bellow is the result of my testing. From my testing it is clear the problem got into existence between version 5.3.1.2 (working fine - Edit | Find & Replace showing labels in front of input boxes) and 5.3.2.1 (problems appear exactly the same as in the recorded video).

I have read the bugs marked as duplicate:
Bug 107764 - I don't have File, Edit, View - missing, there are perfectly well displayed.
Bug 105863 - I don't have flickering problem of menus
Bug 107166 - It behaves like this problem, but my menus are fine, just at some points (like Edit | Find & Replace or Tools | Options | LibreOffice | User Data all data are blank).

@grofaty, thankyou for the additional data. Clearly a duplicate of bug 107166. 

The only missing detail of your situation would be to run "msinfo32.exe" and post the text from the Components -> Display panel.  That will show the GPU and the driver in use that is experiencing the issue.

OK, partly there-- virtual handling with vboxvideo.sys 4.3.38.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS--but what is the GPU and driver for the Linux host system?

On Ubuntu host I executed: sudo lshw -c video
