Description: Insert/Special Character Almost unusable because font display in huge size, overlapping and obscuring characters. Display on right seems to show only the 1/4 of a selected character. Steps to Reproduce: 1.in word processing mode, either docx or odt format file 2. click on Insert 3. click on Special Characters Font display is only 3 lines of very large size. The window to the right shows only the very top of a selected character (indicating to me that the display falls off the bottom of my screen). There is no vertical scroll bar. Using the mouse wheel while holding CTL scrolls the font, but doesn't affect its size, same as without CTL held. Actual Results: Font display is only 3 lines of very large size. The window to the right shows only the very top of a selected character (indicating to me that the display falls off the bottom of my screen). There is no vertical scroll bar. Using the mouse wheel while holding CTL scrolls the font, but doesn't affect its size, same as without CTL held. Characters in a row overlap horizontally, making some rows illegible. Rows are separated vertically, which fits with the feeling the display is stretched vertically. In safe mode of LO, character matrix displays as expected, but with cursor in character matrix, the mouse wheel scrolls through fonts, not just the characters in a font--not expected. Expected Results: Fonts display with legible characters of modest size so there are 10-15 rows visible at once. All of a selected character is visible in the right side window. Mouse wheel scrolls through one font at a time when cursor is in font matrix. Pull down menu selects font to view. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.1.3.2 Build ID: 10(Build:2) CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 4.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3_kde5; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded Installed from the openSuse 15.0 distribution on HP Omen laptop. OpenGL was not enabled in LO Tool. When restarting in Safe Mode I selected to disable GL. glxinfo is no installed, not available from openSuse repos.
Don't know what i did, but with LO back in standard mode the Insert/Special Characters menus now looks 'normal.' However, it still scrolls through fonts as well as the characters of a font if no font is selected in the pull down menu. And a surprise to me, the character I wanted showed up in Recent Characters. Removed the entries in Search and Font fields. Behavior changed again. Can select a single font to display. With cursor on matrix, mouse wheel doesn't scroll--have to use the scroll bar to the right. I hope some of this is useful. If not, sorry for the distraction. I'll look for openSuse to offer LO 6.3.
