However, percentages are never used except in web browsers. Fonts are set with points. Icons and most other matters are set with pixels. I could scale the entire thing by changing the resolution with xrandr, e.g., from the native 3840x2160 down to 1920x1080. But why? I didn't pay for a 4K monitor to run it at 2K. The problem is that the desktop environment (I use Xfce) has at least two different settings for icon size, and half a dozen for point size of text. For example, the window title bar text is one setting, toolbar text is another setting (which LO does not always respect, by the way), body text is another setting, and so on. Although I now have the Styles and Formatting toolbar visible, LO fails to respect the line spacing of the desktop environment. And someone decided to hard-code the spacing as a number of pixels for the main toolbar so, since I had to set the toolbar text big enough to see, the items appear somewhat smashed together: FileEditInsertFormatTableToolsLinguisticsWindowHelp. [Edit: This issue seems to have been resolved with LO 6.3.4.2.] LO is not the only application where column widths are hard-coded as a number of pixels; I have the same problem with a few other applications. And many applications, including LO, hard-code the icon size in toolbars, so the icons are 2-3mm high. For example, in the Styles and Formatting toolbar I have to hover over an icon to read its tool-tip in order to know what the icon does. And someone coded the Styles and Formatting window to be an application window instead of a toolbar window, so 'Styles and Formatting' is the same point size as the main window. It all works, it just looks weird. That's enough of a rant. I'll shut up now. :) -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

My solution was to just uninstall the Ubuntu version of LibreOffice and install the latest version from the LibreOffice site. It's not very hard to install those and there are instructions how to do it.

Hi John Jason, >> >> did you try to reset the user-profile? >> (home/user/.config/libreoffice/4) > > Yes I did. Made no difference. > .. and it is the right user-profile for the Ubuntu-version of LO? I could remember in SUSE there was a different profile, but it changed sometimes ago to the same profile LO will use, when it has been installed by the original packages. Did you install all packages LO needs? I haven't any Ubuntu-version here, but I know the default installation won't install all LO-packages ...

[libreoffice-users] View issues with 6.07 from Ubuntu repositories
I had LO 6.3.3.2 installed, downloaded from LO. But I was unable to correct the line spacing in the Styles and Formatting toolbar, and trying to fix it I discovered that it would hang if I clicked on Tools > Customize. After much effort I gave up and uninstalled 6.3.3.2, and then installed 6.07 from the Ubuntu repositories. Tools > Customize no longer hangs the program, but now I have other problems. I keep my toolbars floating off to the right. Here is an image: https://imgur.com/YISfwld The Formatting toolbar was missing more than half the icons, replaced with the text for the function. For example, instead of an icon showing a character with a line above it, I saw just 'overline.' I tried to add the correct icon by customizing the toolbar, but there were only a couple dozen icons available, and none for overline. I have installed all the themes I can find and, although in Tools > Options I can now select different sets of icons, the only one which has all the icons is Breeze. Are there more icon sets available somewhere? There is an even worse problem. I cannot view the Styles and Formatting toolbar at all. When I select it the toolbar flashes for a split second on the screen and then disappears. It doesn't matter if I select it with Formatting > Styles and Formatting or with F11. With 6.3.3.2 the line spacing for the styles was off, and now the toolbar can't even be viewed. I'm going from bad to worse. Furthermore, the scrollbars are the thickness of a pencil lead; just about impossible to hit with the mouse. I know that this is because of an issue with gtk3, but the gtk3 integration package is properly installed. The scrollbars appear correctly in all my other applications, so I don't know why they are unusable in LO. LO is unusable without styles and scrollbars. Can someone offer suggestions for how to fix these issues? -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
