Version 3.4.4 under xbuntu, screen is not properly redrawn when switching to a workspace with the LibreOffice component-selection window in it.

If I open "Base" the situation gets even worse, menus off the top of the screen, etc.  It makes Base almost unusable.

Other components, "write" etc, work OK.  Some handshake between LibreOffice and Xfce seems to be failing.  See the attached screenshot for an example.

Sorry about the big attachment.  I shrank the screenshot with GIMP and then forgot to save it!
I have since tried LibreOffice-Base on an entirely different computer (IBM Thinkpad) and gotten similar results.  Also messed with various xfce settings with no success.

I object to this bug report still being classified as "NEW".  It is FOUR MONTHS old and is still present in LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 which I just installed.  It makes the system look trashy to see half-a-window redrawn.  Can't we boost the priority on this a bit?  It has to be a straightforward xfce-interface problem, I would fix it myself if I knew how.  Thanks for listening.

Seems to be fixed in 3.5.3.2
