Did you recompile LibreOffice with TDE support?  If not, you are already
using the GTK interface layer, which may be drawing items incorrectly due
to the gtk-qt-theme-engine.

I strongly recommend compiling LibreOffice with its upstream TDE support
enabled; this is what I do for and Ubuntu and the integration works very
well.
