Screenshot

The selection arrows in the toolbar to select further functions in all LibO products looks a bit weared. The bug affects all versions of LibO and all OS. If I remember correctly, the bug also appeared in the "old" OpenOffice.org versions. I attached a screenshot, because my english might not be efficient enough to describe the bug properly.

I can't see what the problem might be, I do not see anything strange in the screenshot.

@lserramari@gmail.com 
May I ask you to read  hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> carefully?
Then please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing EXACTLY what the problem is
- Attach screenshots WITH COMMENTS if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a step by step instruction containing every key press and every 
  mouse click how to reproduce your problem (and if possible how to created a 
  sample document from the scratch)
- add information 
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your PC (video card, ...)
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO version and localization (UI language)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
    (video hardware acceleration ...)
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  –- If you can contribute an OOo Issue that might be useful
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts

Please submit Bug reports with status UNCONFIRMED if your are not absolutely sure that you contributed all required background information, that the problem will be reproducible with information you can provide or that your enhancement request will be accepted! Thank you!

Okay, let me clarify that a bit. It's the second bug I reported, so please apologize :)

I don't even know if this is really a bug. Those arrows don't really fit to the design of the UI. Instead of this gray "shadow", it might be better to design them like they actually are when the user touches those arrows with the cursor.

Hope its more clear now.

I agree, the design is a little inconsistent. But those are icons and not buttons, so it would be also inconsistent to fulfill reporter's request.

Design has be modified for 3.5, and I believe the new look is more intuitive. So WFM for now.
