Description tom knaffl 2019-10-09 09:15:59 UTC
Description:
While preparing my latest Bug Report I checked 'Use OpenGL for rendering', then restarted. After restart all letters disappeared. So I cannot find the Option to uncheck 'Use OpenGL for rendering'. It seems i have to disinstall and reinstall LibreOffice?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From DRAW: Tools>Options>View>check: Use OpenGL for rendering
2. Close and restart
3. No Letters to be seen 

Actual Results:
After checkboxing 'Use OpenGL for rendering' all letters in LibreOffice disappear in WRITER, also in the Optionsbar. So The Program cannot be used and I cannot find the Option to uncheck 'Use OpenGL for rendering'.

Expected Results:
I do not know what 'Use openGL for rendering' means, I just trusted the Bugzilla instruction at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL#How_to_enable.2Fdisable_OpenGL
Maybe You should add in brackets (Do not check, just verify if enabled). So the whole sentence under the Question 'Is OpenGL enabled?' would sound like this:
Some bugs are only reproducible if OpenGL is enabled, thus checking whether OpenGL is enabled is useful (Do not check the box, just verify if enabled). 


Reproducible: Always

Did you check you got last version of your graphic drivers?
Indeed, these include OpenGL part.

Could you also take a look to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps ?
