Description Ernest 2017-11-29 01:33:57 UTC
Description:
Opening libreoffice to read a document and the menu's only showed under scores. The word processing document did not show any character. There were a few red squiggly lines shown.

Using Win10 64 bit. Dell Vostro

Checked that this seems to be an existing problem from time to time so I tried the following, none were successful

1. Unchecked the OpenGL rendering option.
2. Open Libreoffice in Safe Mode, did not work from normal opening. Opened using the command line in Safe mode. Display was still showing nothing. 
3. Renamed the User profile  and reopened LO to recreate a new User profile
4. Uninstalled LO, removed user profiles, removed all registry entries related to LO.
Reinstalled LO. 

I can't recall what happened between Sunday evening and Monday evening. Sunday evening all was working, Monday evening the problem started. I did not install any software on Sunday evening, that I'm aware of.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just open LO. 
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the selection page will show underscored in the menu. Opening a writer document shows a blank page

Expected Results:
All text should be shown, not just in the menu but also the document itself


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

I think I need some more informations, to understand the problem (but perhaps it's only because of my limitations in the English language).
Do you mean "Open LO" or "Open writer"?
Can you add a screenshot of the bug or a document, that produces the bug?
Does it happen with every document?

Same result with a master build? https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86_64@42/current/

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

Opening LO

Ernest, I just add the screenshots you sent me in an E-Mail. I can't reproduce it in LO 5.4 or LO 6.0. Do you get the same result if you open writer directly?
