<pre>This is also a problem on linux, so I took the liberty of revising the ticket
from "MacOS" to "All". And on linux the effect is much more severe. The
flicker is not just annoying, it's catastrophic. As the tool tips flickers in
an apparent endless loop, the popup cannot be closed and the main window is
frozen and non-responsive. The main window can't even be closed. The process
must be killed from a terminal. This renders the oowriter GUI completely
unusable. The only functionality that works is headless jobs using --headless.
So if you just need to convert a Word doc to PDF, this is the workaround:
$ libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf "$msword_doc" --outdir "$output_dir"
This tool chain has no issue:
Debian Stretch + Xorg + LibreOffice
This is broken:
Debian Bullseye + Xorg + Wayland + Xwayland + Sway + LibreOffice 7.0.4</pre>
