Created attachment 140148 [details] Screenshot showing missing scroll arrows (Version: 6.0.1.1 Build ID: 60bfb1526849283ce2491346ed2aa51c465abfe6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-GB (en_AU.UTF-8); Calc: group) There used to be a scroll up and scroll down arrow in the scroll bar for the document body. They've gone. This is using Gnome3 (Cinnamon?) desktop under Ubuntu 16.04. But the scroll arrows were there until I upgraded 2? days ago from 5.4 to 6.0. In addition, when you click in the scroll bar, the thumb now jumps to that point, rather then starting to move towards it a page at a time. That's a nice feature, actually. But the inability to scroll pages quickly now makes it either a LOT of mouse wheel scrolling, or very tricky jumping back and forward in the scrollbar, plus mouse wheel scrolling, to find the end point for doing a large selection of the document body. I suppose a workaround is to remember to hold down the Shift key and to use page up/down to make the selection. For people with certain disabilities, however, that may be a problem. Please reinstate the up/down scrollbar buttons. Ideally, with the new jump-scrolling, also add page-up/down buttons as well so multi-page selections can be made without carpal-tunnel-inducing amounts of mouse wheel scrolling.
What aboubt View - Scrollbars?
You have VCL: gtk2, but talk about Gnome3. If I run with gtk2, I do see the arrows. With gtk3 the arrows are gone and I guess it is due to the theme. Here is an article on how to get the arrows back in Cinnamon: https://blog.tinned-software.net/how-to-get-scrollbar-arrows-in-linux-mint-17/ So you would adapt that based on the theme you are using.
Thanks. I'm using the theme High Contrast. Unfortunately the file/usr/share/themes/HighContrast/gtk-3.0/gtk.css just says "/* HighCOntrast is part of Gtk 3.14, this file is no longer used */" And /usr/share/themes/HighContrast/gtk-2.0/gtkrc has neither GtkScrollbar::has-backward-stepper or has-forward-stepper. You're quite right it's a theme thing. And I checked and found I had fooled myself into thinking it had only changed with 6.0. Apologies for wasting your time.
