Borderless?

The formula bar in Calc with kf5 backend has no border. This is so bad that users can think of the area as a mere empty area.

This is not happen in GTK3 backend nor gen

Comment 1 Ming Hua 2020-11-05 17:57:34 UTC
I remember hearing complaints about a very similar issue in the Chinese LO user chat group.  That user was also using kf5 vcl, and didn't realize that in the conditional format dialog (Format > Conditional > Condition... menu), there is an input box after "Cell value is" and "equal to" dropdown box, and values can be entered there, for the same reason that the input box has no border in kf5, and is seen as just blank space.  (The user instead tried hard to find a place to enter input in the third line after "Enter a value:", to no avail.)

That was just mentioned in passing and the user was using a version with rather old kf5 (6.3.x version, IIRC), so I didn't follow up.  It would probably be worthwhile to check if that input box is still borderless for master, and if this is a bigger problem than just the formula bar.
Comment 2 Michael Weghorn 2020-11-06 13:50:38 UTC
I can reproduce on Debian testing when using the "Breeze" Qt theme.

The border went missing with this commit:

However, from what I can tell, whether the border is drawn or not depends on the Qt theme in use.

This Gerrit patch meant for demonstration purposes contains a some more information:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/105408

The border is shown just fine when I use e.g. the Fusion theme, i.e. start LibreOffice like this:

    QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion ./instdir/program/soffice --calc

I'm wondering whether this more or less already "works as designed" and it's up to the theme to decide whether or not the border is shown, or there should be some tweaks on LO side to make more themes show the border (as e.g. the demo Gerrit patch does at least for Breeze, but there may be better ways)...

I don't reproduce this case, the borders are shown for me there (also with Breeze theme, with which borders are missing for the Calc input bar).

Good to know.  Thanks for taking time to check this issue, and sorry for the noise.

Yes, I'm looking at this, currently debugging into the Breeze theme. It DOES draw borders, but it seems those are off by one pixel and therefore not visible.
Need to investigate further whether that's actually a bug in the Breeze theme or LO needs to do sth differently.

Nice finding. This is a long standing problem. It always confused me, that border were working for some, but not all frames. While it was originally working for the Calc Input / Formular bar, the font preview of the "Format cells > Font" was always without a border, but ok in gtk+ breeze.
Comment 13 Michael Weghorn 2020-11-11 13:23:45 UTC
From how I understand it, this is a bug in the Breeze style.

I have submitted a bug report and merge request for it:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428973
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/merge_requests/51

Closing as RESOLVED NOTOURBUG for now. Will reopen if discussion there yields a different result.

The MR was just merged, i.e. it's fixed in the current development version of the Breeze style.
Comment 15 Michael Weghorn 2020-11-19 11:35:17 UTC
Further discussion with KDE developers revealed that the root cause is in fact a LO issue, VclScrolledWindow doesn't correctly handle frame widths other than 1. (And the Breeze styles has a 2 pixel frame, the inner row of pixels being a border and the outer row being padding, and we just ended up with the invisible padding.)

More details here:

And here I was hoping this would also fix the "Format cells > Font" preview border problem. Might be a similar bug in the implementation of that preview. I guess that doesn't involve a VclScrolledWindow, so no such luck.

Thanks for the whole investigation :-)

That works fine for me with the patches as well. :-)

The patches were merged to master shortly before the libreoffice-7-1 branchoff, i.e. they are still contained in libreoffice-7-1 as well "automatically".

You can run 'git log origin/libreoffice-7-1' to verify this (replace 'origin' by whatever your remote is called if necessary).
