OK, I have key information after hours of trying things.  The problem only
exists if you are using the "generic" VCL (LibreOffice's built-in theme/UI)
with 16 bit color with LO > 6.3.  Using the generic VCL occurs if you don't
install the gnome-integration package (which is an optional package), OR if you
use

 export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gen"

before launching LO to force the generic VCL.  This is probably why I have not
seen any other reports of this issue- it is rare, but will bite certain users
(and my users fall in that category).  You might ask "why not just use gtk3
VCL?"  Well, we can, but it is MUCH slower running remotely/thin client with
scrolling, menus, and selecting text, and certain other operations.  For
example, selecting text is at least 500% slower, and very noticeable/annoying,
even at 100Mb/s.


So, to replicate this problem:

1) Install/prep LibreOffice 6.4.0 or newer.
2) Change your Xserver to 16 bit TrueColor.
3) Launch LO with
   export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gen" ; $INSTALLPATH/program/soffice

-OR-

3) Remove the LO gnome-integration package and launch LO.
