Combined screenshot showing the difference

Compare the tooltip appearance with and without '[x] Extended tip' checked at Options->LibreOffice->General. The screenshot shows the effect on Windows. The borders are heavier, and the padding is larger. In addition to the unnatural appearance, it makes tooltips inconsistent within one application when some controls show extended tooltips, and some show normal ones - like the Gallery tooltips, that are normal even when Extended are selected.

Tested with Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community

and OOo 3.2.0.

I can confirm that indeed padding and borders are different in Windows, as shown in attachment 180663 [details] by the OP.

I agree they should be presented the same way. But the question is which of them should we use? IMO we should go with the one currently used for normal tooltips, since it looks lighter.


Confirmed with
