Description Damian Hofmann 2022-01-06 22:17:50 UTC

The button for folding/expanding headings is rendered tiny and is very hard to click.

Steps to Reproduce:
With a HiDPI screen

2. Enable "Options" > "LibreOffice Writer" > "View" > "Outline Folding" > "Show outline-folding buttons"
3. Create a Writer document with some headings

Actual Results:
The outline-folding buttons left to the headings are tiny and hard to click

Expected Results:
The buttons should have a reasonable size, so they're easy to click


Reproducible: Always

Damian, thank you for your report. Let's treat it as enhancement request. Since "tiny" is not very specific, could you please attach a screenshot to make it more visible? And what would be a good solution for you 120% of the size, 150% or something else?

tiny folding button compared to rest of UI

Added screenshot.

Compared to the font and rest of the UI, the folding button is "tiny". It's not even a quarter of the area of a normal toolbar button.

Note, that on a HiDPI screen, the UI and font appear "normal" sized. The cursor (not seen in the screenshot) is about the same size as the font and buttons in the toolbar.

The folding button is therefore very difficult to click. I think, at my screen resolution, it needs to have at least 4 times the area that is has now, to be clickable comfortably. I'd be happy to let a UX expert make that decision. The proper scaling will depend on each users individual screen resolution and system scale setting (mine system is currently configured to make everything 225% bigger).

To me, this is not a "enhancement". This is a usability and UI scaling issue. It's still an experimental feature, so maybe not super high priority, but still a bug.
