After upgrading from libreoffice 5.2.7 to 5.3.4, I encountered flickering, artifacts and distortions simply by moving the mouse pointer across the UI. After downgrading to 5.2.7 the problems went away. I then upgraded to 5.3.5 and the problems occured again. I then moved my .config/libreoffice folder to a backup location and started libreoffice again -> everything was fine. I then tried to find the setting in the configuration which causes this trouble and ended up with enabling OpenGL to be the one setting. Please note, that "Ignore blacklist" has beenset to "off" all the time. Starting from console did not show any error or warning message. Some information to my related hard and software: System: AMD FX 8370, AMD R7 360 gfx card, 32 GB memory OS: ArchLinux with core,extra and community repos. No AUR software related to libreoffice installed. The system is updated to most current packages.

Thank you for reporting the bug. To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
As I mentioned in my bug description, I moved the whole folder .config/libreoffice, so it has been created freshly when starting Libreoffice. So no, resetting profile does not help, the problems remain.
OpenGL + LibreOffice on Linux is known to be crappy.
Hi Torsten, 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.
Hi Xisco, first of all sorry for me responding so late. The problem still exists with version 5.4.4. Because I own a new computer now, I can confirm this problem on different hardware. Now tested on a Ryzen 7 1800X with an AMD RX 580 gfx card but still newest kernel/mesa drivers (amdgpu). Greets, Torsten
Hello Torsten, A new 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.
Hi Xisco, the problem seems to be gone with 6.1.3. I'll set the status of this bug to resolved. Thank you!
Thanks for retesting with the latest version. Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME as the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
Please take into consideration, that I'm using a rolling release distribution and that a change in my graphics card driver or mesa causes the problem to be fixed. So if you need glxinfo or other information from my system, please tell me.
