Created attachment 80607 [details] image of the document after scrolling down This problem started with a new version of LibreOffice, 3.6.2.2. (the one with the new green splash screen instead of the old white one) and continued up to the latest 4.x versions. My documents are not displayed properly when I scroll up or down. I have seen this mostly in the Writer, but Calc and Impress are also affected. Have not tested in other applications of the suite. The problem appears only above a certain zoom level and is the same in odt or doc. The display is completely distorted as seen in the attached image. Clicking on the text restores it but it always goes back to the beginning which is the only part that is visible in this way - and larger documents are almost unusable! The document can be taken under control if the zoom is equal or lower than 180%. It may vary depending on display and resolution, but it seems to me that the problem disappears as soon as the zoom goes down so that the page is largely within the margins of the maximized window. I have experienced this with all LibreOffice versions above 3.5 in Lubuntu and Xubuntu 12.10 (have not used the suite under other OS.) When filing the bug I had to select a version, and have selected 3.6, but in fact I experience this in all the latest versions.

The same experience at a certain point in Linux Mint 14 (nadia) with Xfce
Please always specify the exact version including the source (libreoffice PPA, libreoffice.org download). Also note that this look plain simply like a graphics driver bug -- the fact that older versions of LibreOffice did not trigger it is likely pure luck. If possible to reproduce, please bibisect this bug: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Bibisect

I can state that the first version with the problem was the first stable 3.6.x which i got updating from ubuntu quantal main repos. Then I have updated until 4.0.1 expecting the issue to disappear. Beside Ubuntu repos (stable) I have indeed used the libreoffice.org download source but cannot specify exactly which. At a certain point I gave up updating. Because efore 3.6 I did not have that problem I simply went back to this version: the problem was gone. It might very well be related to the VGA hardware or driver. I was instructed on askubuntu to try and file as a bug and so I did. I will keep using 3.5 and try to see if things will change in future releases.

I do not think it will ever happen in fact. I have installed on my machine the 3.5 version from deb, and 'locally' I have installed for testing 3.3.1 and 3.2.0 (I was not able to make older versions work in this way and am not able to test before 3.2). The reported problem did not appeared at all. I could test all the 3.4.x versions as well. But that will not happen. No matter what the problem is here, it is strictly related to 3.6 and newer versions.
I have tested 4.1.0.0.beta2 (from here: http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/). The same problem.
As expected, OpenOffice 3.4.1 (latest) is not affected.
I sometimes get a similar issue, unfortunately not easily reproducible. It happens to me even when at 100% zoom. When I minimise and restore the window, it is solved.
Hello, I have the exact same problem. I see it in Calc (which is the part of LO that I use). I was also using 3.6.something and then 4.x.x and it's the same. I am using Ubuntu 12.04. What 'force' to refresh the window (Calc in my case) is switching to another application with Alt+Tab, back and forth. It happens with vertical and horizontel scrolling. Thank you in advance.

I confirm this bug. For me it happens with calc on any zoom level: scrolling completely distorts document. Playing with options like "Use hardware acceleration", "Use anti-aliasing" does not resolve an issue. I'm using LO 4.0.4 compiled from ports tree on FreeBSD 10-CURRENT. Configure options --enable-gtk3 or --enable-gtk have no any effect. It seems that bug does not depend on graphical adapter, I see the same behavior on remote X terminal.
