AOO bug - distorted formula when using arrow keys to move cursor

Using the arrow keys to move the cursor in a formula often distorts the inline
formula text. See attached screenshot for demonstration (it is difficult to
take screenshots without the window being refreshed and the problem going
away).

To replicate;
1. enter this formula into B1: "=IF(A1=0;1;0)" (don't copy and paste it)
2. press enter to create it
3. double click the formula to edit it 
4. move cursor within cell with left and right arrow keys
5. note every time the cursor is moved to the next character a new static
cursor remnant is created (|).

If the file is saved and reopened, the issue may not replicate in B1 until at
least one formula in the spreadsheet has been temporarily selected for edited
(eg C1).

Workaround: 
In Tools > Options > OpenOffice > View
Uncheck "Use hardware acceleration" in Graphic output option

Well, another workaround may be a downgrade to a previous version.

With AOO 3.4.0, we have same bad display but with less artifact.
Also, this issue seems to have increased with 4.1.x.

Confirmed with AOO 4.1.1 and Windows system.
Some artefact displays in formula editing.

In OO 4.1.1 on MacOS X, the option for using hardware acceleration is unchecked
and grayed out. So, this is not a fix here. 

In issue 125915, I reported a similar problem, but caused by difference
circumstances as this bug, and report was closed as a duplicate of this issue.

So, at a minimum, this is not a workaround on a Mac, and potentially 125915 is
a different bug altogether.
