Screencast with LO 25.8 nightly

When the notebookbar tabbed is enabled, starting up a recent nightly shows me a Writer window that's quite screwy - see attached screencast.

Don't see it on Windows builds, launched with swriter.exe

Of course can't get a command line launch into any NotebookBar UI with a cleared profile. LO has been run at least once so user profile has loaded screen positions and you've made a NotebookBar UI selection.  

On subsequent launches directly to writer does the visual glitch remain. Or is only on the initial direct launch? Are you using and $ORIGIN defined profile or the $SYSUSERCONFIG of your distro's install?

I'd look to something askew in the "ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" for the installation in the registrymodifications.xcu
