It doesn't sound only as a memory problem but rather like a graphic refreshing problem too, very often encountered by people who produce with OOo , even with very short documents. I've been experimenting this problem several times per week since i daily use OOo (2001) It was told to be a bug in VCL (? ?) We still have the same display refreshing bug in OOo4Kids and OOoLight anyway, this bug (because it's really an annoying bug ) was already described in various ways, for example in #82448 which is typically well described , but you will find a bunch of issues about the same problem at https://issues.apache.org/ooo/ entering keywords containing "display" "refresh" ... see also issues #94852 ; #95505 ; etc...
