Bug Description

When I write long formulas everything becomes blank inside the window. I can still use the menus and save and close. When I reopen the document it works fine but when I try to modify the long formula, everything goes blank again.

I can reliably reproduce the issue with the attached document in libreoffice 6.0.6 on Ubuntu 18.04 and with the libreoffice snap (version 6.1.3.2).

I'm seeing the following errors when run in a terminal:

(soffice:4331): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:30:16.532: drawing failure for widget 'OOoFixed': error occurred in libfreetype
(soffice:4331): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:30:16.532: drawing failure for widget 'GtkEventBox': error occurred in libfreetype
(soffice:4331): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:30:16.532: drawing failure for widget 'GtkGrid': error occurred in libfreetype
(soffice:4331): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:30:16.532: drawing failure for widget 'GtkWindow': error occurred in libfreetype

The deb packages for 6.1.3.2 from libreoffice.org are not affected, so this is NOT an upstream issue.

Changed in libreoffice (Ubuntu):
