Description Randall Snyder 2024-05-01 17:52:30 UTC

Description:
Even after closing Calc the LO Startup screen has all the thumbnails looking crazy and illegible. When I click on the Calc screen a large dark box appears. I have to close and reopen Calc to clear the issue and I have tried saving to a different file type (XLSX) and get the same results. 

Version: 7.6.6.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d97b2716a9a4a2ce1391dee1765565ea469b0ae7
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select sheet
2.Right Click > Optimal Height
3.Watch screen spaz out for a few moments, then appear to return to normal
4.Click on screen and get a dark box covering an area where you click.
5.The rectangle adds and subtracts from itself depending on where you click on the screen.
6.Close app, restart and get back to work.
7.Wash, rinse and repeat until project gets done.

Actual Results:
The screen goes crazy and places dark boxes on the sheet making it impossible to work on.

Expected Results:
Adjusted the row heights and let me carry on.


Reproducible: Always

Can you share a video or at least a screenshot of the visual issues?
Have you tried turning off "Use hardware acceleration" in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View?

I can't reproduce on Ubuntu 22.04 + GNOME 42.9 with 7.6.7.2, 24.2.3.2, nor a recent daily build:

(oh, and I tested with the sheet "Overlaod Relays Thermal Unit Selector_2", which is the one focused on fileopen. Is that the one you mean?)
