Bug ID: 136336
Summary: LO Writer does not display footnote text on mouse
hover for GTK 3
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Upgraded to 6.4.6.2. When I hover the mouse over a footnote number in the main
text, there is no popup showing me the text of the footnote. This used to work.
I do have tools/options/LibreOffice/General/Extended Tooltips checked. Running
Debian buster, XFCE 4.12
tested it on a different computer also running Debian Buster. The problem
appears on both XFCE and LXDE. The other computer uses Debian's video drivers,
the first, Nvidia.
Thanks to forum user Opaque for this finding: From my tests: it is a problem
when using the gtk3 VCL (See in Help -> About LibreOffice) The problem happens
on all combinations of LibreOffice versions and desktop managers (Tested: MATE,
LXDE, LXQt, Plasma and Xfce). Even "Plasma"-desktop doesn't select VCL:kde5 but
a mixed VCL:gtk3_kde5 which also does show the problem. I did not succeed
running LibreOffice in VCL:kde5 mode, which normally could be forced using
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde5 libreoffice (forcing GTK3 on my other system also shows
the problem) - Hence my conclusion is: This is a general problem of the GTK3
support of LibreOffice (if not of the GTK toolkit issue at all).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type some text and include a footnote in it.
2. Put some text in the footnote.
3. Hover your mousepointer over the footnote marker in the main text.
Actual Results:
Nothing happens.
Expected Results:
You should see the text of the footnote pop up a little after you stop moving
the mouse.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
Problem appears on multiple machines by different users, so resetting user
profile not applicable.
