Some success with the "theme" hint. I changed to Clearlooks from Adwaita
and ta!da! the horizontal and vertical scroll bars in Calc are wider and
clearer. CentOS 7 default for themes right now is GTK 2. I'm Ok with
that for the time being.

Thanks to all for telling me about potential problems with my "theme".
I am using CentOS7, starting with startx in "gnome-classic" which I
loved for CentOS 6 but perhaps it doesn't translate well to CentOS7. I
have NOT tried changing my theme from "Adwaita", the default. I had
researched changing my theme quite some time ago but "stuff happened".
Maybe time to get back to my research on this. I will definitely
investigate a new theme and hope a new one will solve this problem,
and others I have been experiencing. I will post any updates here.
Thanks again for the hint.

As an update, I just did some experimenting and I changed my xfce4
desktop window settings under "Applications" -> "Settings" ->
"Settings Manager" -> "Appearance" -> "Style" to "xfce-4.4". IMHO,
that style gives me larger Calc tabs and still is a pleasant window
frame. There are many more styles there that will enlarge the tabs.
Some do not. I do recommend, however, to stay away from "Oxygen GTK"
which crashed Kplayer when I tried it.
As I said, I use xfce4, so other desktops, such as kde, YMMV.
In case it may help, here is a screenshot of the style settings
available in xfce4:
HTH.

Slackware Linux 14.2 (32-bit k4.4) and xfce4.
I believe this "problem" has been brought up recently before. IIRC
That thread resolved the problem to the height of the horizontal
scroll bar on the bottom right, which is in the same horizontal
field of the window as the sheet tabs and as such, drives the height
of the tabs. This cannot be changed in AOO as it stands. The field
height may be changed by selecting another window style in the
desktop configuration. I did some experimenting with it and found a
window style that presented a higher (wider) scroll bar and which
did present larger tabs and font. I wasn't satisfied with other
attributes of that style, so I selected another style and now I
can't remember how I got the higher-tab style to go back to. So, the
short answer is to change desktop window manager window styles and
see if there is one that works better for you.

Hi Kay,
I did not have any Issues with very small tabs size on Linux.
Can you specify the Distribution, Windowmanager (KDE, GNome, mate
etc) and if you use any themes?
I know that we have Issues with themes. So maybe this belongs in
this topic too?
Or maybe Do you have a 4K Monitor?
All the Best

I am using AOO 4.1.7 on Linux-64. A have a spreadsheet with
multiple sheets. Once I could easily navigate from one to the
next but now, with the VERY SMALL bottom scroll area, this is
nearly impossible. The bottom area for showing the sheets seems
to be bounded in height by the height of the horizontal scroll
bar eight. I could have sworn that using the Zoom facility also
enlarged this bottom area in the past, but this is NOT the case
now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't see how to change this, but it may be helpful to know
that Ctrl+PageDown moves to the next sheet (and so on) - and
Ctrl+PageUp the other way. If your version of Linux interferes
with this, you may be able to set alternative keyboard shortcuts.
I trust this helps.
