Bug#486810: openoffice.org: menu text ureadable until swept by the mouse cursor
I found a solution: 1. The problem occurred on a machine using a nvidia graphics card running under the nvidia driver. 2. KDE4 effects were inoperative until adding the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enabled" EndSection 3. Openoffice now displays correctly. The reported bug must be some odd side-effect of KDE4 with the nvidia driver. It's beyond me, but now it works!

So I can I close this now? - The nvidia driver is not supportable because non-free and binay-only. If you use broken drivers it's your fault. - KDE4 is not in unstable.

As a side note: So I'll try the standard nv driver again... But I had turned to the nvidia driver a while ago as the supported driver was super-slow, and not for fancy accelerated graphics but for standard tasks such as opening windows, etc. I've noticed a similar HUGE difference on my laptop using the unsupported fglrx driver compared to the supported radeon driver, again for "standard" X11 use. Maybe I should spend some time trying to understand this, as it is sort-of a pain depending on these proprietary drivers. > - KDE4 is not in unstable. I am, indeed, an unstable type of guy, but for further excitement, I have ventured into the experimental branch, just for KDE4. (I hope that it will be making it into unstable soon so that I can spend less energy beta-testing.) Thanks for your attention. I wanted to share my experience and the found "solution" with the community. Alan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#486810: openoffice.org: menu text ureadable until swept by the mouse cursor
Package: openoffice.org Version: 1:2.4.1-3 Severity: important I'm sure that this will be a tough bug to reproduce... All openoffice.org applications do not display ANY menu text until the menu is swept by the mouse cursor, that is until the text is highlighted (and then redrawn). I suspect that this may be a KDE error (I am using KDE4.1beta), even though removing openoffice.org-kde has no effect.

Bug#486810: openoffice.org: menu text ureadable until swept by the mouse cursor
Hello, I just tried openoffice on a second computer (a laptop) also under KDE4, supposedly having an (almost) identical configuration as my desktop computer. Both are under debian unstable/experimental and both underwent a clean reinstall recently. The bug does NOT reproduce on the laptop, so now I must figure out where the difference lies... May take me a while, as I have little time to experiment at the office. I'll let you know if and when I find the solution. Thanks for your attention, and I will keep you informed. Alan P.S. KDE4 beta seems to be getting close to stable, and, after a difficult start (4.0 was unusable), I do like the way it is going, even if everything is not yet perfect!
