If you're asking for help with LibreOffice, please make sure your post includes lots of information that could be relevant, such as:

1. Full LibreOffice information from Help > About LibreOffice (it has a copy button).
2. Format of the document (.odt, .docx, .xlsx, ...).
3. A link to the document itself, or part of it, if you can share it.
4. Anything else that may be relevant.

(You can edit your post or put it in a comment.)

This information helps others to help you.

Thank you :-)

Thanks.

Looks like you're on LibreOffice 24.2.7...

Q1. Do you mind testing on the latest version and see if it's still an issue for you?

There's been 5 major releases since LibreOffice 24.2, and a few thousand issues and bugs and random things squished in the past 2 years, so very likely your "weird lines across the screen" issue is already solved.

And for your future knowledge:

Do you see that little button right next to "Version information"? It looks like 2 little pieces of paper.

If you press on that, then you can copy/paste the full Help > About LibreOffice information here.

Having it in text form makes it so much easier than a photo of your monitor.

If you want to use the ms office standards, you'd better try Google office or onlyoffice
