MiniMe, e17 or Openbox? What video effects do you have turned on?

Seriously, OpenOffice? Why not LibreOffice?

How much memory does your machine have? I have seen this when ones machine does a lot of swapping and it can not redraw the screen quickly.  A good guess is your machine is swapping memory. There is where I would look !

It's E17.
I had bugs with LibreOffice spell-check.

There is 6GB on my machine.
If it related with memory it wouldn't work when I login as another user.

Inversely, if it does work as another user, the problem is related to user settings.

That's why I asked about video effects. In e17, those settings are per user. Are you using ecomorph? Do you have compositing module loaded?

This bug effected both modes ecomorph and simple E17.
I've installed Libreoffice, it works OK now.
Perhaps restoring OO settings to default could help, but I can't check it since OO and LibreOffice can't be installed together, and I did't find OO settings in the user home directory.

Thanks for helping.
