When using Calc on Linux, the suggestion-popup that pops up when entering function names of formulas causing the cursor to corrupt the text contained in the cell. No special preparations are required to reproduce this bug, it can be even triggered with an empty spreadsheet. I've created a screencast to better illustrate the issue: http://youtu.be/2YhQsevRNoU I can't reproduce this issue on Windows, probably because the cursor there is only 1px wide (or not XOR based).
Hi, Thanks for reporting. I can not reproduce this behavior using Linux Mint 14 x64 with LibreOffice 4.0.2.1. What Linux Distro are you currently using (Fedora XX?) ? Kind regards, Joren
I am using the XFCE spin of Fedora 17 (+latest updates). I can not reproduce the issue when using a composition manager. Most likely because with a composition manager in place no expose events are sent to the area which has been hidden behind the popup.
Thanks for your feedback. I'm still not able to reproduce, so I'm afraid someone else need to have a look at this. Kind regards, Joren
Sad to hear ... quite likely its a timing related issue. At least I was able to rule out the video driver, as the issue still occurs witz 2d acceleration disabled.
Hard to argue with your video wrt. confirmation ;-) The font is Liberation Sans. I suspect some rather nasty immediate rendering bug; really we should always queue idle re-rending of any area - but almost certainly we're trying to be too clever for our own good here. I'd hope the fix would be to simply queue an idle redraw / update when a key is pressed - indeed, fixing it may simplify the code :-) Patches appreciated to sc/source/ui/ :-)

To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b.
