Description michelranger1 2025-01-11 16:33:35 UTC
Description:
whenever a text document contains a table and the cursor is outside the table, the menu at the top of the document partially disappears the moment the user clicks inside the table to move the cursor there.

To make the menu appear again, simply grab the edge or a corner of the window and slightly resize it. The menu will be displayed again the moment the window is resized, even by a single pixel. 

If one then moves the cursor outside of the table, and back in, the menu will disappear again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open existing text document or create new one
2.if document does not include a table, create one.
3.click inside the table.

Actual Results:
only the two leftmost sections of the menu (not the pulldown menu at the top, rather the ribbon with two lines of quick access menu items) (sections File and Edit) remain intact. all other sections to the right of these two are displayed with only the first line remaining.

Expected Results:
menu should not have been affected by cursor moving inside the table. It is displayed again after one resizes the application window.


Reproducible: Always

Michael, LibreOffice version 7.3 which you are using was end of life on Nov 30, 2022.

You can try 24.8 version, released some months ago and already well tested (24.8 mean a version released in 2024 in the 8th month).

Updated and yes, the bug is fixed in the latest version.

What's a bit puzzling is that when I clicked 'check for a newer version' in the menu, it always assured me that I was up to date. I suspect that a huge part of the user base might be stuck with the old version because the software seems unable to become aware of the existence of newer versions. People would not normally think of going to the website to look for a newer version when their software itself tells them none exists.

Anyway, thanks for being so helpful!

Meanwhile there is a new feature, like in Firefox, to auautoupdate.
