libre office calc garbled window screen when resized

[Erwin Olario]

Whenever I have to resize my Calc window, it's window is garbled from the screen. The menus themselves are still accessible by their shortcut keys (if you remember them). If you further resize the window to a much smaller one, the menus and the top bar disappears entirely

It doesn't crash libre office but you lose your GUI. Screenshot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/997449/+attachment/3139522/+files/lo_calc_resize_4.png

WORKAROUND: ALT-SPACEBAR to access the window menu then maximize the window again. Next is to access the window menu again and select restore to get back to the window size you want.

WORKAROUND: Install libreoffice-gtk, which is needed to enter unicode characters in libre office.

The bug doesn't occur if you use the window's left or bottom resizing handles . It will occur if you use the left or top resizing handles, or use the windows menu (alt + spacebar, resize)
