Starting with version 5.1.0.3, the Slides Pane interferes with the Math Elements Pane. Graphical artifacts from the Slides Pane often obscure/hide the Elements Pane and the Math editing pane at the bottom of the window. This behavior does not exist in version 5.0.5 or earlier.
Can you please add a screenshot which shows the problem?

Reseting my user profile had no effect--the bug still occurs. (In reply to Samuel Mehrbrodt (CIB) from comment #3) > Looks strange indeed. > Can you try resetting your user profile? > https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
