icons disappear, menus disappear, and dialog boxes disappear, with a single background colour in place of them
arm architecture and the custom processing method due to the lack of instruction set capabilities compared to x86 is blamed, but sometimes it actually works fine
i noticed the anomalies start to creep up after accidentally installing ms office 365 and uninstalling it
freedos and windows 3.1/1 comes to mind
Please test with Menu>Help>Restart in Safe Mode.
Please paste here the information in Menu>Help>About LibreOffice.
(There is an icon in the center to copy the information).
i appreciate the reply, however, this is for other people to test - i’m not getting involved in this microsoft versus freedos/libre scandal
even if i could reproduce it by reinstalling and uninstalling microsoft office, i’m not going to. if someone wants to attempt to reproduce it, which i doubt anyone will be bothered to, the keyboard commands for the menus will be needed, not just instructions like Menu->Help->Restart in Safe Mode but the keyboard shortcuts to do it, as there is no way to see the menus or dialog boxes once visuals start to act funny
