Hi, I am seeing the issue on a machine with the following configuration:
- Kubuntu linux 15.10 64 bit
X.Org X Server 1.17.2
Intel driver 2.99.917 (+git 20150808 as shipped by ubuntu)
libdrm 2.4.94
mesa 11.0.2
kernel 4.2.0
- Intel haswell laptop
Intel Corporation Crystal Well Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 08)
The issue seems to be triggered by using Libreoffice 5.0.3 impress for a sufficiently long time. It is visible in the slide editing mode, not in presentation.
When you start using libreoffice impress everything is fine.
After some use, the screen stops updating. For instance, you press page down and the slide you are working on does not change. Or you click on an object handle and the latter does not appear as selected. However, as soon as you move the mouse, the screen gets updated.
Note that the issue does not happen immediately. You need to use Libreoffice on a complex document for about 1 hour before seeing the issue.
It is unclear to me if this is an issue with Libreoffice or with the Intel driver. However, from googling I see that in the people ware complaining about something very similar happening with firefox.
