I cannot reproduce this on my trusty machine. Looks like a video driver issue to me.
What video card are you guys using? Can you reproduce the problem on a computer with a different video card? Is the driver for the video card proprietary? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302707 Title: libreoffice base problem with screen highlighting and artifacts Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The home screen of the database application has incorrect highlighting and artifacts on the screen for the selections.
