No offense. Just I'm listening too much lately that Canonical repos has
"modified" apps and that's not true. If some doesn't work we can blaim
the dependencies, of course.
But don't worry, my "designer honor" is intact :D

Hello All,
I've encountered a problem with running LibreOffice (4.4.0.x)
on a fresh
installation of Lubuntu 14.04, in that text only paints as the
mouse
moves over it and mainly, but not always disappears as the
mouse moves
away. My machine is only an old toy (Pentium III) so this is
not a
serious problem, but I would like to understand it.
Any thoughts, anyone.

A shot in the dark, but I encountered some odd effects vaguely
like
that on a machine with a video card that was not fully supported
anymore. In short, this could be a video driver issue. But if
so I
think it likely that you would see some other effects outside of
LibreOffice as well. If such things *only* occur in
LibreOffice, then
the cause is probably elsewhere.
Hi Peter,
I agree with John, it sounds like a graphics card issue. Did you
install LibreOffice through the normal channels?
I too am running 14.04.
When I run:
apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
I get:
libreoffice-writer:
Installed: 1:4.2.6.3-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 1:4.2.6.3-0ubuntu1
So I have 4.2 rather than 4.4 so You may have a strange version
installed.
I suggest installing Libreoffice from the repos.
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
or find it in your graphics package manager of choice.
Thanks for the suggestions. I always install the "real thing" from
libreoffice.org as I lack confidence in the repos' modifications
to the
designers' intentions. However I must apologise for the typo; the
current version is 4.3.1, not 4.4.
As suggested above, it could be a graphics card issue, but all
other
programs display just fine.

Hi Peter,
if all other applications work just fine, then I would think that
the
issue is that the website's package is missing some essential
modifications that the Ubuntu packagers make so it 'just works' in
the
Ubuntu derivatives. I'd suggest you try the repo version and see
if the
issue is still present.
Otherwise, you might look for a PPA for the program, as there are
most
likely specific modifications that need to be made to the packaging
for
Ubuntu.
That's a good thought. Next time I fire up the m/c in question I'll
give
the repository version a try.
