my bug ONLY for Linux. In 107166 problem is on Windows, IMHO it is another bug...
By me in Xubuntu LO 5.3.3 works fine.

status -> UNCONFIRMED
Comment 4 Xisco Faulí 2017-06-25 18:18:00 UTC
So, it seems you reproduced it with gtk2. I can't reproduce it in

Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 08f6f9dded1b142b858c455da03319abac691655
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.8; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group

To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test?

if it's still happening after resetting the profile, could you please try to bibisect this following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bibisect/Linux ?

Cant repo it. Would suggest you test beta 2 and if that still doesnt fix it, clear your user profile.

clear user profile -> solved my problem

status -> NOTABUG

ps: but, 5.4.0.1 and 5.3.3.2 installed parallel on Linux and use one user profile?

Just another reason why each version should have its own user profile (check bug 57466 comment 15 for more info).

Steps to reproduce this bug and reveal the cause of it:


1. Install LO 5.3.7 with a fresh user profile.

2. Open Writer and create new menu with Tools->Customize tool.

3. Now the new file \AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\config\soffice.cfg\modules\swriter\menubar\menubar.xml is created. This file contain description of new created menu AND all default menus too, in spite of that default menus are not changed, only new one menu was created in step 2.

4. Copy this file to menubar53.xml.

5. Upgrade to LO 5.4.4 (keep old profile).

6. Open Writer, open the Styles menu and see the bug (non-visible items). Close Writer.

7. Go to user profile and delete menubar.xml file.

8. Open Writer and see correct Styles menu.

9. Create new menu with Tools->Customize tool again.

10. Now new file menubar.xml is created again. Copy it to menubar54.xml (just to not to be confused with this files).

11. Open menubar53.xml in text editor and find this section:

<menu:menu menu:id=".uno:FormatStylesMenu">
  <menu:menupopup>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Standard&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Title&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Subtitle&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Heading%201&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Heading%202&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Heading%203&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Heading%204&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
This section describes the Styles menu.

12. Open menubar54.xml and find corresponding section:

<menu:menu menu:id=".uno:FormatStylesMenu">
  <menu:menupopup>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Standard&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Title&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Subtitle&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Heading 1&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Heading 2&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Heading 3&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>
   <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:StyleApply?Style:string=Heading 4&amp;FamilyName:string=ParagraphStyles"/>

13. Compare the last four lines of cited above sections. This lines describes that invisible points of Styles menu. There is difference in symbols between the Heading word and numbers: %20 in menubar53.xml file, and simple space in menubar54.xml. Conclusion: Writer version 5.4 can't process menubar.xml file, migrated from Writer version 5.3.
	
14. Proof: delete menubar.xml. Copy menubar53.xml to menubar.xml. Open Writer and see the bug.
	
15. Open menubar.xml in text editor and replace the %20 to spaces. Open Writer and see correct Styles menu.

Styles menu gaps as they appear in LO Writer 6.0.7.3, MacOS 10.12

I'm seeing this problem in LO Writer 6.0.7.3, MacOS 10.12. 

Don't recall when Styles menu gaps first appeared but I installed/uninstalled LO beta not that long ago in attempt to fix a different problem (Bug 122145). Related perhaps?
Comment 10 okinasevych 2019-01-07 00:35:56 UTC
Confirming that Kribly Krably suggestion for edits of menubar.xml partially fixes the problem for me. 

All Styles menu items appear now except for "Quotation" character style. I can see its entry in the menubar.xml but there is no %20 character entity to replace, nor any other variations from adjacent menu items.

Styles menu after XML fiddling (LO Writer 6.0.7.3, MacOS 10.12)

All but one menu item available after fiddling with menubar.xml file, replacing "%20" with spaces. Missing in the menu is "Quotation" character style.

Dear Roman Kuznetsov,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
