Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 99518
Display of database columns gets garbled when scrolling columns horizontally

I opened a database in writer through View, Data Sources. When scrolling the columns horizontally, the display gets garbled. Noticed on Vista Sp1. Attaching screenshots.

Reassigned to "DB access".
I really think we recently fixed this in one of our CWSes, but can't remember which one. Also, the fact that it happens in OOO310m1 irritates me, the fix should have been in the master already. Hmm.
just tried in OOO310.m1 (and m2) on Windows XP, cannot reproduce. It might make a difference *how* you scroll (clicking onto the arrow, clicking onto the free space of the scroll bar, dragging the scroll bar, traveling with the keyboard, maybe more), so please elaborate.
Sorry, my fault. I was convinced that I saw this in 310_m1, but apparently I got confused with all the versions I was testing. Although there seems to be a small problem left. When columns are scrolling leftwards, the text suddenly appears somehow bold. It looks like some extra repaint with a one pixel offset, or so.

hmm, don't see this either. I suppose that's still Vista. Might have to do with theming, but I fear I'm out, I don't have access to Vista.
Actually I noticed this also on XP. If I scroll right (the columns moving to the left), a previously visible column gets the bold effect. If a column gets into the view area for the first time, it is displayed correctly. But strangely enough, the Pages column is also displayed correctly (see screenshot), even if scrolled several times.
The "Pages" column probably uses another control to display its content, which could explain the difference. On XP, if you change your desktop theme to "Windows classic", does the problem vanish then?
Same thing with classic theme

If you have a close look, there is another strange aspect. There seems to be some kind of color distortion: Some letters have a greenish shadow, some appear in red. I noticed that also on the Vista machine, but on this screen it is much clearer.
The icons in your screen shots look strange - which distribution of OOo do you use? The vanilla one from www.openoffice.org?
It is vanilla OOo. Just changed the icon theme.
ah, okay. Sadly, this leaves me clueless (I had hope you're using a non-vanilla distribution :), as I still cannot reproduce the problem here.
If I'll get bored during the day, I can install OOO310_m1 on all available machines in my office to see what results I will get there (-;
Tested on another machine: XP Sp2 everything OK there. The previous XP machine was Sp3, so maybe that's a clue?
Just installed SP3 in a VM-machine - no, cannot reproduce.
Well, I tried it also on a XP Sp3 in a virtual machine, also cannot reproduce it there. Still, I had the effect on two machines, but I am running out of ideas.
@hennerdrewes - tried reproducing this under XP and Win 7 using 3.1.1 and DEV300m_60 (3.2 codeline) and cannot reproduce the effect. Given that and the time period and that your last comments all seem to show that it is not happening for you anymore either - setting to WORKSFORME.
