3. Start slide show

Fuzzy text, top of images cut off. This immediatly after upgrading to 5.4.2

I was only partially able to replicate this on Ubuntu 16.04. The text was blurry, but images nor any of the screen was cut off. Currently on LibreOffice 5.4.2.2. Doesn't seem to be affecting all versions. Do other programs appear blurry as well?

System requirements are for 1024x768 at 256 color.

But, may be able to work around. Set your display to 800x600 and launch directly to Impress (simpress.exe) from the C:/Program Files/LibreOffice 5/program directory. Rather than soffice.exe (which takes you through the Start Center) and forces minimum 620px height.
