Yes, I think it can be easily reproduced.

1. I have a 9.1-RELEASE on another partition of the same machine with 
LibreOffice 3.5.6, and there's no problem at all.

On 10.0-RELEASE, LibreOffice 4.1.5_1:
1. I don't see any problem with Writer so far;

2. In Calc, no problem as long I don't use mouse;

3. No problem if I scroll a blank spreadsheet vertically or horizontally;

4. Suffice it to write just one character in one cell, click with a 
mouse on another, cell and start scrolling.

Then the character is no longer displayed (although it's there -- it can 
be seen on the Input line, if I click back on the cell I entered it). If 
I start scrolling vertically, many tooltips show up with row numbers in 
one column next to the vertical scroll bar. If I then start also 
scrolling horizontally, the tooltip column is multiplied all across the 
spreadsheet area. If I switch to another program and back, the 
spreadsheet area becomes either light-grey or filled with the content of 
that program.
