Haven't seen it specifically with LO (and I don't have that version),
but I saw a similar quirk on Firefox 4 on Windows 7 when Aero was
disabled. It was bad enough that I had to re-enable Aero, despite the
other problems that gave me. I've interpreted this kind of bug as
developers spending too much time using compositing window systems,
and not catching (or forgetting) normal window painting events.
