confirmation text invisible

When using base (it happens in other places too), if I modify a request then quit, the message box doesn't display the text.
Workaround: if I try to select the invisible text, it appears.
This workaround doesn't always work.

Platform: archlinux, x64 with radeonsi. Intel i7 4770k+HD7850

I thought it was a font problem, but as the text can appear when selected, I don't think so.

What is strange is that most of the time (in writer for example), the display messages are ok.
In Base, I can reproduce this 100% of the time. It may happen in Calc too.

Hello, please could you test https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LibreOffice

VCL UI interface, use one of the SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN
Thanks

Comment 9 jdruel 2016-04-06 10:24:53 UTC
My system now display visible text, but unreadable for some messages.

So, I enabled experimental features in LO and tried 
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3
libreoffice

This works great ! I can see the messages.
The other options (kde4, gtk and gen) result in the same unreadable text.

The problem depicted in attachment 124128 [details] is already reported as bug 99446, and is currently exclusive to the 5.1 series (fixed in 5.2 and later).
Comment 12 Buovjaga 2016-05-31 05:37:12 UTC
jdruel: could you try with 5.2
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/rpm/x86_64/
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux

If all your problems go away, I think you could set this to RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99446
