Not sure if that is me, but LO master 26.2+ is broken for me.
Open Writer, Format-Paragraph, I get empty full screen.

With GEN, dialogs are usable but very big and thus also not correct.
Also Page Style and Theme.

What do you mean by "empty full screen"? Can you please attach a screenshot?

For me, the dialog opens and seems way larger than it would have to be (quite some unused space in the initially selected "Indents & Spacing" tab page", but the content is there, i.e. it's not empty.

Does this also happen with a fresh user profile?

Mine is debug build, not sure if that is elevant.
Comment 6 Michael Weghorn 2025-07-30 08:26:56 UTC
The problem I see (dialog way too wide with much of empty space in most tabs, and very large icons in the "Borders" tab that probably cause this) is fixed by Noel's pending change:

@Timur: Can you please check whether it also fixes your issue?

Thanks, works for me with that.
