FWIW, I can see the same on MS Windows with LO 24.8 alpha daily built 2024-04-23, but I wonder... So what? Is there any negative consequence of having these 3 transparent corners?

Sure, severity is pretty minor (changed it now), but it is a noticeable change that will seem buggy and unpolished to more users than just me, I am sure.

Considering that this tdf#160787 is a minor issue whereas one negative consequence of the patch in comment 4 is tdf#160946 (which is a much more important issue in terms of UX), I would like to kindly ask to attempt to find a solution to tdf#160946, or to revert the patch linked-to in comment 4 and find some alternative solution. TIA.
