Created attachment 179573 [details] illustration of problem LO 7.3 drop-down box for font selection shows no font labels. Placing the cursor onto the box displays a blue highlighter with white text label. Basically, the problem is a reversal of colours. Instead of normal black text on white background, per LO 7.1, I have now white text on white background: so labels are not visible. This problem can be detected invoking LO to override GTKthus; SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen /opt/libreoffice7.3/program/soffice Invoking this command results in a microscopic LO GUI upon my 4K monitor. But the drop-down box is now black text on white background, so font labels are displayed. Exiting LO, I receive a message informing me java needs to be installed. Installing java-latest does not resolve the problem. imho, this is a compatibility issue, and should be considered critical. system info... Version: 7.3.2.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 49f2b1bff42cfccbd8f788c8dc32c1c309559be0 CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 5.16; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded OS: Fedora 35 GNOME; 41.5 CPU; AMD64 Graphic; NV137 Windowing: Wayland note: LO 7.3 installed from rpm files downloaded from LO website
In Ubuntu gstreamer1.0-gtk3 is needed, see what's gstreamer in Fedora. And try to reset or just rename LO user profile. Search in existing bugs is advised.
May be a Wayland problem and a duplicate of bug 147249.

Problem obviated by upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04, Gnome 42, and LO 7.3.2.2 installed from repositories (not snap). But the problem of no help function remains.

Did you install a help package such as libreoffice-help-en-us or the one for your own language? Anyway, let's close this.
