There is already at least one bug report about this issue dating back
to 2012, yet still unresolved:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58358
and I'm perplexed as to how something so fundamental and so annoying
can seem to have such low priority. I'm running Linux Mint 18.2
(Cinnamon), and the latest LibreOffice 5.4.0.3, and the distorted text
while scrolling (using Ctrl-downarrow) from paragraph to paragraph is a
very tiresome distraction to getting work done. So I'm wondering
whether other users of the same platform are experiencing the same
thing, and if not, whether there is a work-around -- a setting
somewhere that causes the text to be rendered correctly while
scrolling.
