We discussed this on IRC today:
10:17 < _rene_> caolan: new churns of "gtk3 is broken!!!!1111one" coming in.

(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838549 is
basically not useful.)

10:23 <@caolan> _rene_: also, that reminds me, I think you mentioned some deb
bug about the libreoffice icons not correct under gnome ?
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771731 for the
upstream fix for that if so
10:24 < _rene_> caolan: yep, that was the point if 5.2.1-3

10:25 <@caolan> then its an unknown problem
10:25 <@caolan> "I tried reverting to libgtk-3-0_3.20.9-1_amd64.deb and it made
no difference" makes it sound unrelated to the style-set thing
10:26 <@caolan> I got 3.20.9 here and I'm as happy as a clam

10:26 < _rene_> yeah, I just asked him to go sure
10:26 < _rene_> the problem is, we do have 3.21/3.22 in testing/unstable.
[...]
10:34 <@caolan> _rene_: this is good I guess, you can try a gtk3 downgrade to
isolate if that's the trigger or not ?
[...]
10:41 < _rene_> caolan: after downgrade it works
[...]
10:44 <@caolan> _rene_: when you saw the problem with pdf export, where did you
see it, in the pdf export dialog itself, or the outputted pdf ?
[...]
10:44 < _rene_> caolan: the outputted PDF. entered Test in a odt, export, got
something looking like "dfiffjfk"
10:44 < buovjaga> some deeper philosophy, do we close this as wontfix for now?

10:45 <@caolan> let me upgrade to gtk3 and check that out locally
10:46 * _rene_ updates the bug
[...]
10:56 <@caolan> _rene_: no problem for me on F24 if I upgrade to rawhide
gtk3-3.22.0 and export to pdf (even if I revert the style-set
patch) so I got nothing useful

10:59 < _rene_> hrm, now it worked here, too? wtf?
10:59 <@caolan> this is not the bug you are looking for

earlier revision

11:36 < bubli> _rene_: So I'll just go w/ lintian overrides, the error and warning I see are (according to what that bug says) false positives

11:39 < _rene_> that one I have already, but not uploaded
11:39 < _rene_> is there more changes?
11:39 <@caolan> _rene_: try adding 29c55564070aa1fa7846448a6ca90fe47c38bd0a

11:39 < _rene_> but that second patch is only also speedup, not corrupting stuff in the UI/export, no?
11:40 < _rene_> s/not/not against/
11:40 <@caolan> there's probably still an underlying unfixed bug but quite possibly not discarding all fonts and refetching them the whole time would avoid it
11:41 < _rene_> mmh, ok, so I'll try with https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git/commit/?id=a93b5f4a53ba1ecf5a7761149ac6f3f7fbfa948f then :)
11:41 < bubli> 333+3.
11:42 <@caolan> yeah, maybe it'll make a difference. Either it does or doesn't help, either way is useful inf
11:42 <@caolan> info
11:42 < bubli> That wasn't LibreBaby, that was coffee on my (numeric) keyboard and /me cleaning it
11:43 < _rene_> caolan: I have a 5.2.2 rc2 build with that running right now, will tell you later.
[...]
13:15 < _rene_> caolan: *seems* to fix it, but then again I had some attempts
with the old one procuding a correct PDF, too. the "sometimes
happens, sometimes not" things suck ;-(
Does it work for you with the 5.2.2 packages from
http://people.debian.org/~rene/libreoffice/5.2.2?
