Refresh problems with 3D objects on move or rotate

I recently installed 1.1.0 on a Dell laptop running Win2K. The problem I have encounterd is that I will create a new 3D object then when I move or rotate it the that object the image from the original position is still on the screen (behind the newly moved object.) This process continues indefinitely as I move the object until the screen is a mess with parts of previous positions. If I click the preview button, or print the document, there is only one 3D object that appears and it is the most recent change that I have made.

If I minimize the window then bring it back, I either get a blank screen or the entire drawing area of the program is gone. What I see is the menu bar at the top and the task bar at the bottom. Everything else is my desktop.

Has anyone else seen this happen before? I installed the same program on my desktop PC and it does not exhibit this behavior.

Thanks,

jOE.

Try turning off 3D View - use Opengl. under Tools Options OpenOffice.org View. That is sometimes causing problems. I had to turn it off under Mandrake Linux to get rid of display problems with 3D objects.

Ftack,
Thanks that did the trick! Also checked the "refresh during interaction" box and that seems to help a little as well. OpenGL is the culprit for sure though. I appreciate your posting alot.
