In Calc on Gnome-Wayland session, the highlighted line in the font selection pulldown menu is four lines below the cursor (where expected highlighted line is where the cursor is touching.)
Appears to have been FIXED recently, but don't know what components were updated, possibly not even Calc but some other component. THANK YOU!

I prematurely reported this issue fixed. Running on Wayland the Calc font pulldown menu continues to highlight four lines below the cursor position. I'm running Debian 9.3 Stretch/Stable. Perhaps I should wait for LibreOffice to be upgraded to a more current version.

Never seen a problem here, maybe a screenshot of what is happening might help
Created attachment 141579 [details] font_selection_pulldown_menu Sorry for the delay. I had some difficulty finding a way to include the cursor in a screenshot. Pressing the prtscn button captures a screenshot without a cursor. A supplemental screenshot application has the ability to 'include cursor' -- but (frustratingly) the font selection pulldown menu closes as soon as the left (primary) touchpad/mouse button is released, making it impossible to activate the screenshot application after opening the pulldown menu. I finally figured out that I needed to run first the screenshot application, set the screenshot with a 30-second delay, THEN open the Calc font selection pulldown menu. rtimai@debian:~$ libreoffice --version LibreOffice 5.2.7.2 20m0(Build:2) rtimai@debian:~$ lsb_release -d ; uname -r ; gnome-shell --version ; echo $DESKTOP_SESSION # DESCRIBE SESSION [default=gnome-X11] Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch) 4.9.0-6-amd64 GNOME Shell 3.22.3 gnome-wayland
No such problem with a KDE Wayland session with GTK3 LibreOffice backend. As version 5.2 is outdated, you should try with 6.0.x Perhaps an appimage will do the trick https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage Arch Linux 64-bit Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 632bc11ce8fab1c4046ab24810b90a7ce9ac5914 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.16; UI render: default; VCL: kde4; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); Calc: group Built on April 27th 2018
This appears to be an issue in Debian Stretch which runs typically stable old versions of both system components (even the kernel) and applications. As it is not being confirmed by users on more current platforms, perhaps it should be considered a low-priority issue. My understanding is that Wayland uses QT and a software layer that translates Gtk application features to QT. The problem may not even technically be in LO. I thought LO developers might wish to investigate, but it might not be worth the effort.
No, Wayland does not use Qt. Perhaps this diagram will make the hierarchy more clear: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol)#/media/File:Wayland_display_server_protocol.svg Anyway, you don't have to wait for Debian, if you just download an appimage of LibreOffice 6, make it executable and run it. No need to install anything.
Please mark this bug Trivial, not worth attention. I've switched from Debian Stable/Stretch back to Ubuntu, and the issue does not occur in current versions (below) of Debian/Ubuntu or LibreOffice: ~$ libreoffice --version LibreOffice 6.0.3.2 00m0(Build:2) Version: 6.0.3.2 Build ID: 1:6.0.3-0ubuntu1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: x11; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group ~$ lsb_release -d ; uname -r ; gnome-shell --version ; echo $DESKTOP_SESSION Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 4.15.0-20-generic GNOME Shell 3.28.1 ubuntu-wayland Glad to be back on Ubuntu, btw, and that the Wayland/Mir conflict is over. Ubuntu is definitely Debian with corporate polish.

Could you install the package libreoffice-gtk3 from Ubuntu's packages and see what happens?
@Buovjaga: Very observant of you, I didn't notice that. I installed libreoffice-gtk3 as you instructed, restarted in a Wayland session, and am happy to say that all the pull-down menus are working as expected in Calc now. I didn't note whether gtk3 was installed in Debian 9, which might have been a solution -- but, no matter now. I am once again an Ubuntu loyalist. Buovaga, thanks for the persistent interest.

Cool, tweaking status a bit :)
