Thank you for the report.
Can you please share the version information copied from LibreOffice > About?
Sounds similar the the Skia issue in bug 153306.

@Boudi : is Skia rendering activated in LibreOffice preferences ?

Usually, Skia rendering is activated by default now on latest macOS LO releases).


If you untick all of the Skia related options, and restart LO, does the problem still occur ?

That was my first thought too. These kind of artifact issues on macOS are nearly always linked to the render engine.

Sounds very much like a DUP of bug 153306

Comment 6 Boudi 2023-11-30 10:03:42 UTC

Switched Skia off restarted LO and issue disappeared.

OK, let's mark as duplicate.
Thank you!
