MP4 video clip of the flashing user interface that appears intermittently when using Calc

I attach an MP4 video clip of the flashing user interface that appears intermittently when using Calc. When this happens, LibreOffice also becomes really slow and sluggish.
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 4.2.5.2 release

I'm on WinXP 32bit using LibO 4.2.5.2 too and I've never seen such a crazy UI... looks like a crazy flipper...

which is your graphic card model? did you try to reset user profile?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

is the flashing UI limited to Calc or does it affect other components?
is there any particular action or file that triggers the issue?

I noticed the same problem, both on linux and on windows xp sp3.

On ubuntu, it's 100% reproducible:
1. Open one calc window  /writer window;
2. Resize the window by dragging the top-right corner of the window manager (you should have to un-maxmize the window first).

The icons will flash for around 10 seconds and then stops flashing.

I can't say that I've noticed it on Linux. I do not have the problem with
any other applications, only LibreOffice, and I have only noticed it in
Calc. I can't say what causes it - it seems to appear intermittently when I
am working. It seldom stops - I have to close the application, and
sometimes reboot Windows. It does not seem to be triggered by any
particular file, or action, that I have noticed. It sometimes precedes a
LibreOffice crash.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later): https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for your help!
