Description zwot 2025-02-07 17:14:53 UTC
Description:
Buttons for cropping an image file inside the document are missing and broken (see screenshots). This error occurs in WRITER as well as in DRAW component. This error occurs since a lot of LibreOffice versions, so I wanted to report here. Bug is reproducible in the recent Flathub version, as well as standard LO version in Linux Mint 21.3 and 22.1., I have this bug on all of my Linux PCs present. Also present in a fresh Linux Mint 22 install.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer or Draw 
2. Add an Image File (I used JPG)
3. Try to crop Image and you see that buttons for cropping are missing

Actual Results:
Buttons for cropping the image are missing, so it is difficult to crop the image as I need to

Expected Results:
Eight buttons for cropping the image should be visible


Reproducible: Always

I found that if you disable font scaling, the bug disappears. But this is not option on high resolution screens, because then buttons in Libreoffice are very small. Set font scaling in desktop environment to 1,0 and then the buttons get visible again.

You need to set font scaling to 1,3 in the desktop environment to make the bug reproducible

I found a report that is confirmed, so although it is newer, I will close this one and update the info there. Thanks for reporting.
