This is a bug in the intel dri driver and occurred for me while using flightgear, but looks like can happen in libreoffice as well.

Building mesa 10.2.7 from source and installing fixes the issue :

intel core gpu (ironlake), ubuntu 14.04 64 bit

wget ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/10.2.7/MesaLib-10.2.7.tar.bz2
tar jxvf MesaLib<tab>
cd MesaLib<tab>
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep mesa
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gles1 --enable-gles2 --enable-xa --enable-opencl-icd --with-dri-drivers=i915,i965 --enable-glx-tls --with-dri-driverdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri --with-egl-platforms='drm x11' --with-gallium-drivers=""
make -j
sudo make install
