Created attachment 44053 [details] The bars which appear on the dialog Horizontal lines appear on the Document Creation Page when running on Fedora Core 14 on an x86_64 system. This installation was just completed using the rpm files available from the Download section of the website. The bars appear when the mouse scrolls over the buttons, and they do not go away. Also one button may become completely grayed out if one of the creation dialog boxes is cancelled out of (for example if the database creation dialog is cancelled the Spreadsheet button may disappear).
Not rReproducible with "LibreOffice 3.3.1 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (build 8 / tag 3.3.1.2)]". Seems to be Linux specific. I remember grey buttons in some early LibO versions, but I never saw the grey bars. @Ian McInerney: Can you contribut informaiton concening your graphic card?
Occasionally the button will be greyed out, but only if the aforementioned case occurs, aside from that the bars appear to be pretty consistent on my system.

I have this exact same problem. I have an Acer Aspire 3680 with the same Intel chipset as you have. I am running KDE 4.6.2a, so it's not related to the desktop env. I think the bug is either in xf86-video-intel, or in LO itself, or both. What version of xf86-video-intel are you using? I'm using 2.12.0. I have KDE related problems with this version of the driver in that I can't enable certain compositing functions of the desktop effects (KDE eye candy) without having problems with menus drawing incorrectly and other problems. These are all documented bugs in KDE, and it seems that the new version of Kubuntu (11.4/natty) fixes them but updating to xf86-video-intel 2.14.0. Now I know that these bugs are totally separate than this bug in LO. However, I know that there was a major cleanup with the 2.14.0 version of the video driver. If the LO bug still exists with that video driver version, I would tend toward the problem being in LO. I will be able to confirm this when Natty is released later this month and I upgrade.
Currently I can't see how many users are affected, but Start Center is the first impression a new user will get from LibO, and for some of them this impression will be devastating. If I would see such a start center using a softwaree the first time, I would uninstall it fearing that the software might be not mature at all - or at least unfit for my machine. @Lubos: Can you have a look, problem might be related to KDE? Please feel free to reassign if it's not your area.
It is not KDE related. The original bug reporter here is running Gnome 2.32.0 and I'm running KDE 4.6.2 and we both exhibit the same problem. I think the problem is how Libre Office works with the intel drivers for X.org. Both the original bug reported and I have the same video chipset and drivers. He has not replied with which version of the drivers he is running, so I don't know if we're running precisely the same environment.
@Lubos: Also KDE relationship more than questionable, may be you can contribute some hints? Please feel free to reassign if it's not your area.
Can you try with a different version of the drivers?
I am currently running this version of the X-server drivers, and they are the latest repository version: xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.12.0-6.fc14.1.x86_64 This is however the 2010Q2 release of the drivers so I can try updating them soon (I am currently busy with other work) to the 2011Q1. I will need to manually install the new drivers since apparently Fedora has stopped packaging new Intel releases for FC 14. I'll get back to you guys once I have done this.
When I upgrade to Natty 11.4 it will use the new drivers. I will report in when that is done. It looks like the ubuntu release date for that is in about a week.
I am experiencing the same, and at the same time, I am experiencing many weird issues in drawing editing and presentations, again with gray elements appearing. If you see this bug, can you please check if you also reproduce https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38682 or https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38681 Thanks
I have upgraded to Kubuntu Natty 11.04, and this bug is still here. I now am running the xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7) driver and KDE 4.6.4. I am also uploading a screen shot of the problem.

Also, the LibreOffice about box is the following: LibreOffice 3.3.2 OOO330m19 (Build:202) tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
I have replaced the machine with the intel video chipset. This problem does not happen with my new ATI video card. I was going to recycle the old machine, but then I realized that if one of the developers wants it, or just the motherboard so you can see the problem in action and figure out what the problem is, I would be happy to ship whatever you like to you at my expense. You can keep the hardware when you're done with it because I have no use for it. So, if you want a box that demonstrates this problem, I will ship it to you.

Comments #16-17 are bug #43649. Can somebody still reproduce the original problem?
Yes. I can still reproduce the problem. If you are going to be working on a fix, I can send you a motherboard with the video chipset that produces the problem. It has memory and a processor, and I'll send it to whereever you are. You can keep it too! I no longer use it, but I've kept it around to donate to whoever digs in and wants to fix this bug.
I confirm that the issue is still present in LO 3.5.1. Nothing has evolved since comment #17. Bug still a nuisance.
The original summary was too limiting for all DUPlicated bugs I wonder why this Bug with lots of confirmations was NEEDINFO? Bug 49972 confirms the problem for 3.5.3
*** Bug 49972 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is this still an issue in LibreOffice 4.1 RC 3 using latest stable versions of all other software (distro and device drivers)?
I still have that old motherboard somewhere. I will check and let you know. I'm betting that it still exists (I remember this particular bug with LibreOffice/openoffice dating back years and years without a fix.)
Hi 3.x series had EOL. 4.2 has a new start center. Is this bug needs to be closed? Best regards, Zeki
Agree with Zeki. If this is still an issue with 4.2.x (which I doubt, since startcenter has been written from scratch) setting to WONTFIX. Please open a new bug-report for any glitches you encounter with the 4.2 StartCenter. To test: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
