[SOLVED] KDE Plasma 5.6.3-1 & Libreoffice - strange toolbar visuals

I haven't used Libreoffice for a couple of months and opening it today it is a pain to use. The background of the toolbar area is 'corrupted' with portions of whatever window was behind it when it launched.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling libreoffice-still. Installing libreoffice-fresh. Deleting all configs. Etc.
I've tried launching it as the root user (to see if it's a custom config somewhere in my user's home) but the issue remains.
I've tried setting it to use the gtk theme, kde4 theme, and default (according to the wiki), all with the same issue still present. (The icon themes changes accordingly though)

Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

**EDIT**
The problem turned out to be my video driver. I'm using an intel video card and was using xf86-video-modesetting rather than xf86-video-intel. Switching back to the intel driver (sna) fixed the issue.

Try to use the other environment variable: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LibreOffice#Theme

Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant when I said I'd tried all of the themes.  The icons change (so I know the theme is changing) but the issue is still there.
