I have had this problem for quite some time now (months if not years) in LibreOffice and OpenOffice. The problems are maybe a little bit worse in LibreOffice, but I didn't exactly measure it…
It looks like a graphics card problem, but why are nothing else affected? It only happens to OpenOffice and LibreOffice. I tested a few versions and it seems to not matter. The screenshots are taken with Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 and I saw the same thing in LibreOffice 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0. I think this also happened with earlier LibreOffice versions, like 3.4 and 3.3. I didn't use OpenOffice since 3.2 (except 3.4.1, which I use these days), and I don't even remember what it looked like. Here's a screenshot with Apache OpenOffice Calc 3.4.1. I added some arrows pointing at the problem areas: http://ubuntuone.com/0wvqcaN38PC5835t4uJVPv The worst thing is when I try to use the Basic IDE, take a look at this. Very hard to write and edit code when it looks like this: http://ubuntuone.com/4HRPQMpblZT97UxHq5ggzO My operating system is Ubuntu 12.04 and the more stuff I run at the same time, the worse will it look. My graphics card is the nVidia GeForce Go 7300, which is blacklisted for use with the Unity 3D desktop, so that may be what's causing this problem, but still it ONLY happens to LibreOffice and OpenOffice. One thought that I have is that LibreOffice and OpenOffice are not GTK applications (I think – are they?), but on the other hand, neither is my web browser (Opera), and I don't have these problems with it. Both LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org were installed with the official deb files. The LibreOffice version that came with Ubuntu 12.04 was carefully removed before installing what I have now. Thoughts?
