My hardware: MacBook Pro 17", OSX 10.5.6, 4GB of RAM

The screen sometimes fails to repaint the text correctly due to heavy scrolling
or (most often) when using "Find" to search for words.  It also seems to happy
more often when displaying more than one page at a time on a widescreen monitor.
(Images attached.)  It will also occur on a single page display.  To solve the
problem, I either restart open office or I use page up/down to force a refresh.
 Sometimes I have to change my display to single page to get text or cursor
highlighting to show up.  

The following describes the most likely steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Open the attached.odt on a widescreen capable laptop/computer.  
2) Set menu: view->"Print layout"
3) Click the "pages side by side" icon on the lower right area and set Zoom to
85%.  (See first attachment.)
4) Select first paragraph and delete it.  (This will cause the wordprocessor to
deal with a "compaction" of the words in the document which tickles the bug.)
5) Use find (apple-F) and search for "ly", keep pressing "enter" to search for
next occurrence, watching the screen for text rendering problems: "ly" may not
highlight; "ly" may highlight but then pressing enter to go to the next
occurrence results in finding the next occurrence but the highlighting of the
previous occurrence is left behind (minor problem but a prelude to larger
issues); the text doesn't render correctly and is unreadable.

Try step five and keep searching for a few pages.  If the problem doesn't show
up, delete another paragraph block and try searching again.  The problem should
show up in a minute or so.  (Images of incorrect rendering attached.)

Sometimes the software will completely freeze once this state occurs:
* can't do anything but force quit it
* the "find" functionality stops operating, and although I can save, OpenOffice
exits and then goes into document recovery.
