Hello, The bug described in 836531 has been marked as fixed, but there are two problems with that:
Apparently, the fix simply involves ignoring libreoffice-gtk3 if the user is using XFCE. I'm running XFCE, and I do not have libreoffice- gtk2 installed - so my LibreOffice suddenly used a very ugly and completely broken fallback that looks a lot like Windows 95. If libreoffice-gtk2 is now a requirement on XFCE, shouldn't the update process make sure that it is present? The second and more important problem is that the guy submitting the bug report didn't make it clear that libreoffice-gtk3 was working perfectly fine with XFCE until a day or two ago - I've been using that setup for ages without problems. The actual bug is that it suddenly started misbehaving (the GUI being extremely slow being one fault, but not the only one). And since all my other GTK3 applications are working perfectly fine with XFCE, I don't see how this could be a general "GTK3 vs. XFCE" problem. Refer to bug 837356 for a report filed a few days ago about "gtk3 being slow" - from a Gnome 3 user. Please reopen 836531 and/or merge it with 837356. Also, since XFCE is already (slowly) moving towards GTK3 and is indeed already shipping GTK3 based modules... https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap ...libreoffice-gtk3 should of course be a fallback for XFCE. Apologies for the lengthy mail, but I don't have an account for the bugtracker yet, it's 5am and I'm about to head out of town.
