Distorted Input Fields

Bodhi Moksha 
LibreOffice Version: 5.1.1.3

See screenshot.

Changing any text in any input field (font, font size, style) regardless of if it's in the top toolbar or in the sidebar makes the text get distorted. I have an identical setup on another machine that does not have this problem so I suspect it might be a graphics card issue.


It's a regression from previous version. I suggest it be set to at least Major as it is a very basic feature to be able to cleanly change fonts, font size, styles, etc... without it looking ugly, distorted, and illegible.

OpenGL is off and this is a fresh profile.

This seems the same as bug 100925, although it is about cell contents.
Can you try launching with
SAL_SYNCHRONIZE=1 libreoffice

bug 100925 has not been bibisected btw..

Found the related reports: bug 99134 and a couple of duplicates in there.
They seem to have been of 5.2 alpha, and the bug also seems to be gone in 5.2.
Comment 4 Buovjaga 2016-10-08 06:09:59 UTC
Yep, seems to be the same, let's close this.

Regarding bug 100925, the effect for me now seems less severe: I only get the overlaid text in cell for like the first letter for 1 second as I input (in 5.2.2 and 5.3).
