Created attachment 183964 [details] The zip file contains a pdf with screenshots and a sample document where the behaviour occurred. Dear LibreOffice developers, I have noticed something strange in Writer. When I am working on a document and scroll through the pages, a white line with the width of the page will sometimes appear above and under the pages. The lines seem to appear more often when the scrolling is done slowly and almost never appears when I scroll very fast. When you are not at the very top or bottom of the document, so for instance between page 1 and 2 in a two-page document, two lines can appear. Sometimes, though, only one of the possible lines will appear. Sometimes only the two outer edges of the white lines appear. This seems to happen with every .odt and .docx document I tried. I have not tried other file formats. Although it is not a very important issue, this is probably not desired behaviour, so I thought it would be best to report it. Steps to reproduce at top of document: 1. Create a new .odt or .docx document. 2. Scroll so that the top of the white page starts to disappear. 3. Scroll back slowly. 4. The white line will appear. Steps to reproduce in middle of document: 1. Create a new .odt or .docx docuemnt. 2. Make sure you have at least two pages (no text required). 3. Scroll past the space between the pages. 4. Scroll back slowly. 5. The white line(s) will appear. The steps to reproduce this at the bottom of the document are similar. I would not expect these lines to occur, irrespective of the scrolling speed. I am using Linux Mint with the pre-installed LibreOffice suite. My application background is a dark grey, probably automatically imported from my Linux Mint settings.

I could reproduce it with Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c1c8ce3b0f1037bca4d500af2f39363cd9d38db6 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.3.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

Please try to test again. I don't reproduce. Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ef106661fcc40cfdd406064cbf73fd62477d0e79 CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I can still reproduce it. However, it seems that my linux mint LibreOffice package is a few versions behind. Maybe someone with a more up-to-date version can test it?

Please retest with a newer version to test if the bug is still here.
I can still reproduce the issue with the official Linux Mint Libreoffice package, but that was an old version. On Thursday 27 July 2023, I downloaded the flatpak from Flathub with version as below: Version: 7.5.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ca8fe7424262805f223b9a2334bc7181abbcbf5e CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Flatpak Calc: threaded I can not reproduce the issue with this LibreOffice flatpak. Since the issue does not seem to exist in this newer version of LibreOffice, I will mark the bug as resolved. Thanks to everyone who have commented on this report.
Let's keep as WFM as we don't know who solved it.
