When hovering the mouse over a field created by an add-in in LibreOffice, the complete field code for the field is displayed in the tooltip. If the field code is lengthy, this can result in a very wide tooltip window being created.
Aside from looking ugly, this can cause some Linux systems with certain graphics drivers (NVidia and nouveau seem to be affected in particular when using Compiz or Gnome Shell) to hang.
This affects users of the Mendeley Desktop and Zotero reference management tools which both use field codes to store JSON blobs containing complete metadata for cited documents.
