Description:
When working with the view (German: Ansicht -> Benutzeroberfläche -> Gruppiert kompakt) the "Font" group sometimes disappears even when text is selected, making it nearly impossible to edit text properties. 

Workaround: Switching to another view and back lets it reappear.

Steps to Reproduce:
Happens sometimes

Actual Results:
Group "Font" is invisible (as if no text was selected)

Expected Results:
Group "Font" should be visible


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Why is this software becoming more bloated with each version?  QR Code generator in the new LO versions, hm? That's what the world has waited for.

Why is especially Impress infested with lots of small bugs that make usage so unfriendly? I'm a heavy user since more than 15 years, but since 5 years or so I'm getting more and more fed up by LO and move my lectures, reports and presentations to LaTeX (yes, even LaTeX Beamer has become less of a PITA than Impress). I'm spending increasingly more time for finding and rearranging basic functions with each version.

Thank you for reporting the bug. 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?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
