The workaround is worse than the symptom! I have Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with [AMD/ATI] Bonaire XT [Radeon HD 7790/8770 / R7 360 / R9 260/360 OEM]. I'm running the low-latency kernel, if it matters: 4.4.0-21-lowlatency #37-Ubuntu
I went into the menu as described, restarted LibreOffice Calc and opened the spreadsheet. Instead of garbled test, the dialog box was completely blank. Then ... the screen went totally dark and Ctl-Alt-Delete no longer worked. I ended up doing a hardware reset. Are there by any chance some log files I can attach, or do you already know what this is? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575000 Title: font glyph corruption on dialog box Status in LibreOffice: Unknown Status in xserver-xorg-driver-ati: New Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I get a font glyph corruption in various dialog boxes in libreoffice.
