Description frausenbruck@betriebsdirektor.de 2018-07-26 14:55:02 UTC
I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed (current version). Since the update to LibreOffice 6.1 (beta and the current RC) the scrollbars aren't working within LibreOffice. I can't click on them and move them. In rare cases it works if I click _beside_ the scrollbar. I'm running Plasma 5. According to the openSUSE developers it's a bug in the LO Qt interface, so I file the bug here. :)

(Please note that scrolling itself works, for example I can navigate through a LibreOffice Writer document. I just can't click and move the scrollbars with the mouse.)

bubli, can you say something about this?

Can you post a screenshot of your Help > About Libreoffice dialog?

Plasme 5 doesn't necessarily mean that kde4* frontend is being used. 

*) yes this ain't a typo, in 6.1 kf5 frontend ain't in place yet

I've opened a bug report in the openSUSE bugtracker (with the same title as this bug report). Unfortunately I can't find it anymore in the database. I don't know any of the openSUSE developers but one answered in that bug report that it is a bug in the LO Qt interface and that I have report it here. He then closed my bug report (and maybe deleted it?). 

btw: The vertical scrollbars aren't working too.

I can confirm this behavior (LO 6.0.5.2 with gtk3-kde5)

For a first workaround.

Start (plasma) System Settings

Select "application styles"
Select "Gnome Application Style …"

Set on the right site "On left-clicking the scroll bar:"
to "Jump to the mouse cursor position"

This change helped me.

Now we know OP has gtk3_kde5 frontend (kde5 filepicker over gtk3 GUI) so nope, it is very unlikely the issue has anything to do with Qt 

Sadly, I have Plasma 5 and I can't reproduce w/ gtk3_kde5, scrollbars WFM. But maybe someone else can ... To whomever may want to test: start LibO like this

SAL_USE_VCPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5 soffice

> SAL_USE_VCPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5 soffice

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5 soffice

(why can't I edit comments I've made? grrr)
Comment 9 frausenbruck@betriebsdirektor.de 2018-08-10 14:36:22 UTC
Could it be a problem with the screen resolution and/or DPI? For example LO is calculating the position of the mouse clicks wrong? What's the resolution of your display?

btw: I have this problem only in LibreOffice, all other programs are working as expected (including GTK+ and Qt applications).
Comment 10 Katarina Behrens (Inactive) 2018-08-10 15:59:06 UTC
Also please try if the same happens w/ other frontends -- gtk, gtk3 or gen

Start LibO (from commandline) like this:

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 soffice
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk soffice
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen soffice
Comment 11 frausenbruck@betriebsdirektor.de 2018-08-10 22:04:48 UTC
> SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 soffice

Scrollbars don't work.

> SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk soffice

Scrollbars don't work.

> SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen soffice

Scrollbars are working as expected.

(btw: openSUSE updated LibreOffice to version 6.1.0.3. The bug is still there. In LO 6.0 the bug isn't present.)
