[Issue 128486] New: GUI repaint errors in textbox widgets

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128486

          Issue ID: 128486
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: GUI repaint errors in textbox widgets
           Product: General
           Version: 4.1.11
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux 64-bit
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: usability
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: admin@lorenzoancora.info
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 87057
  --> https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=87057&action=edit
Bug screencast.

1. Start any tool of the OpenOffice suite;
2. Write into any textbox control:
=> graphical artefacts will accumulate during editing;
4. Minimize and maximize the window
=> the artefacts will be cleared from the GUI buffer.

Details:

The issue happens in all textboxes and editable comboboxes but not in the
documents/databases/spreadsheets themselves. All controls inside the Settings
window have the same issue. The "Enable hardware acceleration option" cannot be
enabled and is disabled, but all other software is able to use both 2D and 3D
acceleration without issues. Disabling the adaptive compositor (Marco) has no
impact. OpenOffice is the only application showing this issue.

Environment:

Debian 11; Mate 1.24.1; OpenJDK 11; Intel integrated graphics.

OO Build:

AOO4111m1(Build:9808) Rev. bdb20b2a64

I've opted for DIY. After some testing I've found by luck the source of the bug
and it isn't an incompatibility with the Mate Desktop Environment at all.
Instead, it is caused by a bad interaction of OO with all versions of the
materia-gtk-theme package shipped with Debian 11.
Switching from Materia to any another GTK theme (like Adapta) restored the
correct behaviour of OO instantly.

Not a true solution, yet better than nothing.

Since it is far easier to patch-in a workaround in Materia rather than here (3h
vs. 3m of build) I'm marking this as FIXED WITHOUT CODE and forward the issue
to the maintainers of materia-gtk-theme.

Hi, Yes, I did. It works in Xfce 4.16 but... I'm not an user of Xfce, I only
use Mate like many other Debian users and OpenOffice is the only application in
which I've spotted issues with Mate so far.

>> In addition, there wouldn't be any valid reason to not support Mate

If the development team has decided to only support certain desktop
environments, please enlist this peculiarity in the minimum requirements
(<https://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_aoo41.html>) so users are
warned before installing the suite.

Maybe it is caused by my lack of essential data-mining skills, but I wasn't
currently able to spot your signature or any other identification of your name
and of your role in Apache: are you a clerk, a tester, a developer, a
translator, ... ? Are you a single individual supposed to stay anonymous or
"oooforums (fr)" is a shared account of some sort? Pardon but the interface of
this bugtracker shows no useful details.

If a developer of OpenOffice has interest in fixing this bug, I am willing to
help with testing until the issue is fully solved. So maybe you could introduce
me to someone who might be directly interested in cooperating to solve the bug.
:-)

But that does not answer my question
Did you try?

No reason except that this project is only supported by volunteer.
And no developer has appointed himself for this task

Use another UX like Xfce

The package desktop-integration was not intended for Mate.

The openoffice-desktop-integration provides menus and icons to easily start OO.
Instead, the reported bug (see the attached screencast) refers to graphical
artefacts inside the application, not to missing icons or menus entries in
Mate.

In addition, there wouldn't be any valid reason to not support Mate (which is
maintained and actively developed and was last updated very recently, on
2021-08-10).
