Package: libreoffice-gtk3
Version: 1:5.2.1-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrade of libreoffice. It was definitely working fine on August 16th,
then I haven't done any upgrades until this last week, so I suspect the
move from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Loaded a spreadsheet, then changed a filter or preference that caused
the display to refresh.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Cell content was illegible - sometimes just garbarge, sometimes the
characters were replaced with other (random?) characters, sometimes some
characters were emboldened.
Also dialog boxes were corrupted - such as the save/discard/cancel
buttons, and even the text in the input line.
I tried various things - deleting the user profile, running as root,
rolling back to 5.2.1-1, reinstalling fonts, nothing worked other than
uninstalling libreoffice-gtk3.
Its not a driver issue as I get the same problem on Nvidia (nouveau)
desktop and Intel laptop.

Thanks. I am uploading it to unstable right now.

Yes. Why should it have been a packaging issue? Upstream has Gtk3 in their
source, too. (just not enable in their builds ttbomk due to their old build
baseline), and the new Gtk3 broke stuff..
