On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today or with LO Debian package 7.4.4.2 + gen rendering, I don't reproduce this.

Do you reproduce this with a brand new document?
Also, could you give a try to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps ?

The problem disappeared a few weeks ago and has not returned!

Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2023-07-18 20:29:57 UTC

Great news! Let's put this one to WFM then.

Of course, don't hesitate to reopen this tracker if you reproduce this.
