Gif screencast 10 seconds long

At some moment UI elements of Libre Office apps (Writer, Calc, etc.) start blinking randomly. I've attached 10 seconds gif. This happens on Ubuntu 15.04 (since 14.04, and I think I saw it even when tried some ancient versions of Ubuntu).

Disable “OpenGL for all rendering” in the meantime.

It's already disabled

OK, I was a bit too quick:

How ancient, exactly? Note that you should not use anything older than 12.04 LTS. Software is generally not built and tested on those versions.

Another question: does this flickering happen in a clean user account (e.g., guest)? If it doesn’t, it may indicate a problem in your user configuration.

I mean I think I saw it when tried something like 9.04 or 11.04 on another PC long time ago.

Actually it's quite hard for me to reproduce it even on my main account (btw when I was taking screencast I had one more window of Libre Office opened and it behaved normally). So I wasn't able to reproduce in on guest account, but also I haven't seen it for two days on my main account. I've also definitely seen it on clean account some time before, but I thought it should be some well-known bug, and now I was surprised after I wasn't able to google it.
