Hi,

I looked at the window manager tweaker and it turns out that compositing
was enabled all along, so that could not have been the problem. Which
leaves us with the vesa driver as the culprit. (For the record, I also have
a Ubuntu VM with Gnome desktop environment which doesn't have this issue.)
I don't actually need to do any work in LibreOffice, I'm just getting to
know OpenBSD so that some day I might switch over to it but before I do
that I want to familiarize myself with it. So you say if I install it
natively it would work fine?
