Dear Maintainer,

I'm not sure exactly when this started happening, but at some point
leading up to version 7 of LibreOffice, I started noticing that
scrolling a spreadsheet document (even an empty one, and regardless of
whether I use the scroll wheel or the scrollbar) it leaves a trail of
"Row ..." tooltips along the right side of the window. (See attached image.)

I have not noticed this in earlier versions (though I rarely use
spreadsheets so who knows?), and I'm not aware of making any changes to
the default settings. Checking/unchecking the "Use hardware
acceleration" checkbox doesn't seem to make any differences. I also
tried renaming my ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user folder, which I assume
should reset any settings I might have made, but that didn't make any
difference either.

I gave the official upstreams LibreOffice packages a quick try, and I
didn't see the problem there.

I'm using Xfce as my desktop. I did notice that the problem seems to go
away if I enable display compositing, so maybe that's a clue? But I
don't know which other program I could try to see if it is a recurring
bug with Xfce.

This also happens with TDE desktop with one slight difference.  Instead of
a bunch of complete "row" tooltips I get a bunch of fragments of "row"
tooltips.  This has been annoying me for a very long time.

Thank you to Torbjörn Andersson <eriktorbjorn@telia.com> for the workaround.

Turning on Composite Extension in Xorg made no difference but doing that
and then enabling the Trinity Window Composition Manager does clean up the
mess.

It appears that LibreOffice calc assumes compositing is enabled even when
it is not.
