Bug Description
Intermittently with the same or different document in LibreOffice Calc, Writer, or Impress text is distorted. The attached file shows an example of the bug that I had in Calc, where the bottom right is the 'normal' text. Three lines, with the bottom one in bold. Depending on the zoom level, the text is distorted in appearance (bold, italic, and/or font).
-I don't have a clear way of reproducing it. The apps normally start out perfectly fine. After a while this can happen, not always.
-It is not always that the 100% zoom level is ok. That can be distorted too.
-This never ever happens in any other program I use.
WORKAROUND: Use the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx).
