Bug Description
Problem description:
In Calc, right-clicking on any cell and then selecting Format Cells often produces a dialog box that is unusable as it is almost transparent. Closing and re-opening the dialog has no effect. Calc has to be restarted to clear the problem.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Right click on any Calc cell
2. Select Format Cell
Current behavior:
Dialog is partly transparent or perhaps it would be better to say its contents are mostly missing.
Expected behavior:
Dialog allows formatting of cell with all contents visible.
Please note: This doesn't happen all of the time but has happened often enough for me to report this as a bug.
I'm using Kubuntu 14.04, fully updated with LibreOffice loaded from PPA. The previous version, in the Ubuntu archive (4.1.3?) also exhibits this problem. KDE version is 4.12.1.

"Format Cells" dialog displayed with no content - transparent.
The "Format Cells" dialog is displayed with no content - just a border and title bar. See attachment. To see the content this sometimes works - Click inside the border until the content reveals itself.
Steps to replicate the problem -
1.
Compile libreoffice with the --enable-kde4 flag
2.
Start calc
3.
Fill cells A:1 through BZ:60 with data - I chose 0 thru 9 as my data. See attachment.
4.
Select cells BN:7 thru BZ:47
5.
Right click in selection and chose the "Format Cells" option
6.
"Format Cells" dialog displays as just a border and title bar - no content. See attachment.
7.
Click anywhere within border of the dialog and sometimes the content appears. This sometimes is when a listbox/dropbox is activated by the click. If content doesn't appear click the dialogs close button to gain control of spreadsheet.
