Ok Marta, despite the updated drivers (and challenges of getting nVidia Optimus
control over the Intel or the discrete GPU) with updated driver you still have
issues with Skia Vulkan rendering.

RenderMethod: vulkan
Vendor: 0x10de
Device: 0x174d
API: 1.2.175
Driver: 472.48.0
DeviceType: discrete
DeviceName: NVIDIA GeForce MX130
Denylisted: no


Meaning, simply avoid Vulkan and use Skia software raster rendering instead:

Tools -> Options -> View  and add the check for "Force Skia software rendering"

See if doing so behaves (for either GPU).

Thank you for the links to the correct instructions.  There is still some
distortion of icons.  please review "results of testing done 0/7/21"  I
provided a list of actions and results.  the skia log is also attached.

And, you'll probably need to add a profile entry for the "C:\Program
Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe" executable, I did.

While the https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector utility is pretty
helpful then to tweak things including the Optimus toggle.

OK, so we have a whack-a-mole issue! This skia.log

RenderMethod: vulkan
Vendor: 0x8086
Device: 0x3ea0
API: 1.2.177
Driver: 0.402.1472
DeviceType: integrated
DeviceName: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620
Denylisted: no

means your HP ProBook 450 G6 laptop has now shifted the LibreOffice application
to its integrated Intel GPU. So we don't know if the new AMD driver has helped. 

This article [1] from HP will help you assign LibreOffice to the "discrete" AMD
GPU so we would no for sure how the MX130 GPU behaves with new driver--but if
you are content with the Intel GPUs performance with LibreOffice, you can let
it go and leave this => WFM

@Marta, great. Could you paste the content of the new skia.log so we know the
Vulkan driver that works with your MX130 GPU.

Good morning.   I updated the NDIVIA driver this morning, then removed the
force skia selection and ran a test.   I was able to paste 3 jpegs into a doc
without the problem occurring and there was also no problem on a spreadsheet.  
Next  I updated LibreOffice to 7.2.2 and retried the test.  That also had no
problems.

So it appears that this was the old NDIVIA driver.  I have no idea why it had
just started having problems.

thank you for your assistance.

OK, thanks for posting. Seems your issue is with Skia Vulkan rendering on the
nVidia M1X30 GPU. You should also have graphics support from the UHD Graphics
620 on the i7-8565U CPU, but on HP laptops it can a a challenge to assign
applications to either the onboard GPU or the discrete GPU.

One thing before moving on to a 7.2.2 build might be to update the nVidia
graphics driver for the MX130.  nVidia lists 472.12 as the current driver,
while you look to still be on the 462.xx driver--if your HP laptop allows you
to update, the more current Vulkan driver *may* help with the issues here.

>From OPs skia.log
RenderMethod: vulkan
Vendor: 0x10de
Device: 0x174d
API: 1.2.155
Driver: 462.376.0
DeviceType: discrete
DeviceName: GeForce MX130
Denylisted: no

Otherwise, if functioning well with Skia Vulkan disabled and just using Skia
software rendering as noted--you should be functional.

Let us know if there are improvements with updated drivers, and/or a move to
the 7.2.2 build.  Personally I would pass on the 7.1.6 release build--we know
there were build issues requiring an out of schedule 7.1.7 build and release.

I do not know how to disable the Vulkan rendering; hopefully it was your
instructions on forcing Skia.  I did go to Tools -> Options -> View  and added
the check for "Force Skia software rendering" .  That appears to have taken
care of the problem.  I snipped and pasted several times into a document and
neither the document nor a spreadsheet had the icon problem.



I will download 7.2.2 tomorrow using the link you provided and give it a try.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately not quite what we needed to know.

You are one Windows 10 21H1, with 7.1.5.2 and rendering with Skia Vulkan calls.

We need to know the GPU and driver (both the Windows driver and the Vulkan
driver/API). Those are recorded into the
C:/users//AppData/Roaming/LibreOffice/4/cache/skia.log

While a run of "msinfo32.exe" provides your system details on the Summary, and
its Component -> Display provides the installed driver version.  Please post.

Additionally, if you disable the Vulkan rendering and use just Skia raster
rendering--do the dropouts in the icons resolve?

Tools -> Options -> View  and add the check for "Force Skia software rendering"

Finally, 7.1.5.2 and the 7.1 branch is reaching EOL either update to 7.1.7 when
released (7.1.6.2 has issues with Skia) or move the the 7.2.2 release--quite a
bit of rework of Skia has occured.


Here is the link to the 7.2.2 rc1 if you'd care to test now.
https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/7.2.2.1/win/x86_64/
 open the details link and select a local mirror to download.

Please post LO build details from the Help -> About dialog

Also, could you provide the first part of the Summary, and Components ->

fine)--we need to know details of your Windows OS and GPU hardware.
