I don't have an upstream user account, so please don't mind me
commenting here:

Judging by upstream comments under #73115, a solution was supposed to be in place for version 4.2.3.
I am running LO 4.2.8.2 (on Ubuntu 14.04) and I see the issue still present: unpredictable transparent cell format windows when opend using the context menu.

Opening the format window using Ctrl-1 hadn't occurred to me before, but
it seems to reliably get around the issue. Thanks for the tip!

Still, this is quite a serious issue because if my own experience is
anything to go by (struggling with it for maybe a year now), a lot of
users may be getting a bad user experience for a long time...

Title:
  [Upstream] LibreOffice Calc Format Cell Dialog is sometimes unusable

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Problem description: 
  In Calc, right-clicking on any cell and then selecting Format Cells often produces a dialog box that is unusable as it is almost transparent. Closing and re-opening the dialog has no effect. Calc has to be restarted to clear the problem.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Right click on any Calc cell
  2. Select Format Cell

  Current behavior:
  Dialog is partly transparent or perhaps it would be better to say its contents are mostly missing.

  Expected behavior:
  Dialog allows formatting of cell with all contents visible.

  Please note:  This doesn't happen all of the time but has happened
  often enough for me to report this as a bug.

  I'm using Kubuntu 14.04, fully updated with LibreOffice loaded from PPA. The previous version, in the Ubuntu archive (4.1.3?) also exhibits this problem. KDE version is 4.12.1.
