(1) Open new Writer document "Untitled 1".

(2) Take menu option File > "Save as...".  Program presents dialog
    "Save As" with default directory your home directory and default
    file name "Untitled 1"; the caret is at the start of the file
    name.

(3) Type, without the spaces, "<Ctrl>+A /tmp <Enter>".  (Yes, I know
    that this is not the right way to enter the directory name.  I
    just confused myself while I was jumping between versions of
    LibreOffice.)

    Expected : The control for the directory name should show "/tmp".

    Observed : The program displays both the default value and "/tmp"
    overlaying each other.


I see this as well in the Export dialog from Writer and Save-as dialog
from Draw.

This observation is from daily Linux dbgutil bibisect repository
version 2016-05-08 running on debian stretch.

I am setting severity minor because (a) the bad result is too obvious
to cause confusion, and (b) the workaround is simply to enter the
directory name in the directory name control.

screenshlot

This screenshot is of daily Linux dbutil repository version
2016-05-10.

The problem is more widespread than I realized before.  In the toolbar
observe controls for style, font name, and font size.

I am raising the severity to Normal and changing summary from
"overlaid dialog export pdf" to "characters overlaid in controls".

Thanks for looking into this bug in more detail. While unfortunately it wasn't followed up on, there's bug 99134, which appears to be the same issue, and the bug seems to be gone now. Please verify with 5.2.0.1.
Comment 4 Terrence Enger 2016-06-30 14:08:57 UTC 
Thank you, Aron, for the pointer.  I am setting status RESO DUP 99134.
I see the problem fixed in linux daily dbgutil repository version
2016-06-27.
