This is the programmed behaviour. Whether, as a UI experience, it is 
normal, is a matter of debate ;-)

The result set is cached, and the window display also caches part of the 
result set to avoid performance penalties by not having to redraw all 
elements of the window, hence the misleading information. Some work was 
done recently in 3.6/3.7/4.0 development to improve this handling, but 
it was mainly around the window refresh area from what I recall, as 
other changes to the code had caused this bit to be even slower, and not 
refresh at all, or at best take so long about it that the user got a 
blank screen :-/

So, at the moment, your best bet is probably to put in a request for 
enhancement, after having tested on LO 3.6.x to see if there's any 
difference when compared to 3.5.x.
