Reproducible demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JawUilA9J0g Basically, setting a style seems to break writer. New text is invisible, menu elements are no longer highlighted on mouseover. This is using a radeon r7 with mesa drivers, if that matters.
Please attach a document to demonstrate the issue. Setting to NEEDINFO - once you attach set to UNCONFIRMED. In the future when reporting bugs pleas always remember the following guidelines: 1) Reproducible enumerated steps (do x, then do y, then z, observed, expected); 2) Attach a simple test case whenever possible A Youtube video does not replace the above two guidelines. Thanks!
FWIW - I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 with Intel drivers, LibreOffice 5.0 and have zero problems with styles which I use extensively in my work.
This is not something that is preserved by loading a document, so I don't think it's relevant. This must have something to do with the state of the application itself. > FWIW - I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 with Intel drivers, LibreOffice 5.0 and have zero problems with styles which I use extensively in my work. Possibly driver related, though I have no idea how I'd confirm that.
Attaching a document would let us see if it's actually invisible or not so it actually would help. If it shows up as regular text than it's more likely that it's a driver issue, if it shows up invisible on our machines also than it's likely something else. Also - if you save the document, close it, then open it back up - is the text invisible still or does it show up black as expected? Instead of fighting over good bug reporting it would be nice if you just attached the simple document - worst case it's not relevant, best case it helps us triage the bug....
As you didn't do the simple request (which literally would take 5 seconds) I put this back in NEEDINFO and removing myself from CC as I don't have the time to fight over good bug reporting.
Created attachment 117953 [details] a document with some text. > As you didn't do the simple request (which literally would take 5 seconds) I put this back in NEEDINFO and removing myself from CC as I don't have the time to fight over good bug reporting.

Instead of fighting over good bug reporting it would be nice if you just attached the simple document - worst case it's not relevant, best case it helps us triage the bug.... As I've already said, this isn't preserved by saving–so probably not relevant. However, I can certainly upload a document if you insist.
@Aaron, Agree it does not appear to be simply a wayward style applying white text to white background. The non-highlighted menu items shown in the youtube clip are telling. Please go to Tools -> Options -> View and uncheck the "Use OpenGL for all rendering", that will get the video driver out of the way. If that doesn't improve the graphics issue, clear your user profile. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile#Resetting_the_User-Profile
Hm. So by default, "Use OpenGL for all rendering" is unchecked. Actually, if I click on it, then ok, then go back to the options, the option shows as unchecked again, so I'm not sure if it's actually ever being turned on or off. This is on a fresh profile, and it's true also if I click "Force OpenGL even if blacklisted". So if "Use OpenGL for all rendering" is supposed to be enabled by default, I'm not sure if it is or not because I'm not sure if I can trust the checkbox. Note that I'm using my distros package, so I'm not sure it isn't an issue with one of their config flags or something. https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trun/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libreoffice-fresh I'm in the process of building 5.0.1.1 so I can see if this issue exists there.
I can confirm that this is still an issue in the 5.0.1 release. Package still provided by Arch. I wasn't able to build Libreoffice without flags because of unused variables, and I haven't had time to figure that one out. I can also confirm that this does not happen on the same machine on Windows.
I can't repro this on Arch with Intel hardware. Presumably it's a Radeon and Linux specific issue.
Mesa 11.2 will be out soon. Aaron: can you test LibreOffice 5.1.1 with Mesa 11.2 after it hits?
Oh, sorry, I meant to close this a few weeks ago. I can confirm that this is no longer an issue on my hardware as of at least LibreOffice 5.1.1 and Mesa 11.1.2.
we'll give it the correct WFM closure then...
