[Issue 125440] New: Mac: Text becomes extremely blurry and shifted after editing and highlighting

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125440

          Issue ID: 125440
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Mac: Text becomes extremely blurry and shifted after
                    editing and highlighting
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: Mac
                OS: Mac OSX, all

screen capture of blurry/shifted characters

On Mac OS X. Tested with 10.9.4 on a normal (non-retina) MacBook Pro and a
Retina MacBook Pro.

As you edit text, especially highlighting text, the text surrounding the edits
becomes more and more blurry and the characters start to shift and tear. This
starts to happen almost immediately. Eventually the text becomes almost
unreadable. Scrolling the window up and down restores the text to perfect
crispness.

To reproduce: In OpenOffice, create a new text document. Type or paste in a
block of text (say 20-30 lines). Then start highlighting parts of the text or
editing the text.

Note: It was suggested on the OpenOffice forum that this was just an
anti-aliasing artifact or just the usual blurry-text-on-the-screen. However,
because the text in OpenOffice is normally perfectly sharp (especially on a
Retina laptop), it is definitely not normal. Also, this affects both retina and
non-retina Macs, so it is not just a retina issue.

This issue is very annoying. Because the text in OpenOffice normally looks so
crisp, I find myself constantly scrolling up & down to fix the blurriness.

Please let me know if you need more information. I can also attach further
screenshots if that would help. Thanks very much for looking at this! I love
using OpenOffice and this is my only major complaint.

A different reproduce:

Open up a multi-page document in OpenOffice 4.1 or 4.1.1. Bring up the "Find"
dialog and search for some text. Close the Find dialog, then simply scroll
upwards in the main window. The screen will get completely messed up, drawing
lots of crazy lines. I'll attach a screenshot.
