Cannot comment on this poster, but, I have seen a very similar issue on 
both OOo and LO.  I see this on Linux, not on Windows. I had the problem 
with Fedora 15 and also Fedora 16. Both are 64-bit versions. I use the 
KMod drivers for NVidia installed from the repositories. I see the 
issues with other applications as well, but the primary offenders are 
OOo and QT.
