Bug Description

Most dialogs in LibreOffice (but not the main document windows) have a pattern drawn over the title bar, which obscures the window title. I can't find any way to change this: changing the symbol style has no effect, and I can't find anything about this problem by googling.

I attach a screenshot of the Format dialog from Calc to show the problem.

I installed LibreOffice 5.2 from the libreoffice/ppa PPA, and that seems to fix the bug. However, I obviously can't tell whether the bug is fixed in Ubuntu proper, unless the packages from the PPA are adopted precisely as-is!

This looks like a bug in the window manager you’re using, which is the one drawing the title bars (a.k.a. decorations).

I'm using gnome-shell, as shipped in Ubuntu 16.04.
