Libreoffice Hardware Acceleration

Libreoffice Hardware Acceleration 3,9/5 1961 votes

I've seen some other questions about display issues, but did not find any the same as what I am experiencing. I have a fairly recent laptop (Dell XPS) running Windows 10. I'd been running LibreOffice with no problems for a while, but recently updated to the 5.40/5.41 releases. I think Windows might have updated as well during the window from where all was OK until the problem manifested. Anyway, all the sudden when I opened any of the Office apps, I noticed that my menu (file, edit, view, etc.) was gone, and the fonts in the interface looked to large for the space in which they resided (formatting toolbar vanishing off the edges of the window, text too large for the status bar, etc.). Additionally, when I click with the mouse in a spreadsheet cell w/in Calc, the program will select one a row above where my pointer is sitting.

Question Can't activate Hardware acceleration in Libreoffice (self.libreoffice) submitted 2 years ago * by esbrinartot There is no way to activate hardware acceleration in Libreoffice I'm using Debian testing amd64 Libreoffice version is 5.2.4.2.1+ Details of my GPU are. The hardware acceleration checkbox applies to Impress slideshows only - and there, depending on your operating system and display drivers, running w/o it might indeed boost performance (or degrade it) - it's simply excercising different code paths in your graphics subsystem. For most cases, though, having this enabled yields faster & nicer results.

If I start Office in safe mode, and launch the apps from there, they seem to work OK. I un-installed and re-installed version 5.3.6, but no change.

After re-installing with a fresh user profile.

Same display issues, still works fine in Safe Mode. Since it works OK in safe mode, this is obviously not a show-stopper. However it is a bit annoying, and means I can't simply double-click on a document to open it. I have looked in the Settings menu and ensured that OpenGL is disabled. Not sure what to try next. Anyone have any suggestions?

You mentioned that a Windows update might've happened between the time your display was working properly and now (when it isn't) Did you try undoing the most recent Windows update? I'm not sure how they word it in Windows 10, but a quick Google search for 'undo a Windows 10 update' brought back a few options. My suggestion is that you try undoing any Windows updates that have been applied since the last time you know it worked properly. That should give you a system that works as you expect, then you can go through the updates one at a time until you find the one (possibly more than one) that is affecting your display. Thanks Bill, I did search, and the only similar post I found using your keywords is one called 'Windows 10 Creators Update blanks menus and text.' While that is similar to another topic that I'd already found, that's not the same symptom that I'm seeing. I also have a partial resolution (safe mode) that seems not to work for people experiencing that issue, while the resolution that works for some of them (disable OpenGL) does not improve the situation for me.
