Then you should have it reported back then...

Example document? Of course I don't have documents this big to even attempt
to reproduce it :)

Also interesting would be to know what rendering of the UI you use? gtk? gtk3?

dpkg -l libreoffice-gtk2 libreoffice-gtk3? If none, does it help to install
one of them/matching what your desktop uses?

Helpful for debugging. NOT.

Did you also report it upstream or not? It'd be nice if you can do, I'd
only forward it anyway, and playing proxy from here to there is cumbersome,
epecially if they want/need more info..
