Description: Calc Page Style Header dialog: left, center and right areas become non-editable when SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start LO with default GTK3 VCL on Linux Mint / Ubuntu 2. New Calc file 3. Format → Page Style → Header → Edit... 4. Check "Same content on left and right pages" → Result: the left and center areas in the "Header (Right)" page are greyed and text cannot be entered → With VCL=gen or VCL=kf5, all 3 areas are editable Actual Results: This makes it impossible to edit headers normally under the default GTK3 environment. Tested versions: - 24.2.x (Mint 21.3) - 24.8.x (Mint 22.2) - 25.8.2.2 PPA → all affected with GTK3 backend Expected Results: All header areas should be editable under GTK3 the same way as GEN or KF5. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Workaround: Start Calc with: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice --calc or install libreoffice-kf5 and start with: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kf5 libreoffice --calc This is reproducible on a clean user profile ~/.config/libreoffice.
Everything fine with Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fede6f817fefd6528a25c1f0f69e06aebe07d9d5 CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Aslo in Version: 25.8.3.1 (X86_64) Build ID: 52ad9dd1c984050a9fb6932dbfb16e86a49e9758 CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I confirm this is reproducible on Ubuntu 24.04 base (Linux Mint 22.2) with GTK 3.24.41. System: libgtk-3-0t64 3.24.41-4ubuntu1.3 Steps to reproduce: 1) New Calc file 2) Format → Page Style → Header 3) Tick: “Same content on left and right pages” 4) Click “Edit…” → left and center areas are greyed and cannot be edited Only happens with VCL=gtk3. With VCL=gen or VCL=kf5 all 3 areas are editable. Reproducible with a clean LO profile (rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice). Please retest with the “Same content on left and right pages” checkbox active.
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today + gtk3 rendering, I don't reproduce this. BTW, "Header (Right)" appears only if "Same content on left and right pages" is unchecked. Anyway, I tried: - "Same content on left and right pages" checked => left, center and right areas are editable - "Same content on left and right pages" unchecked => left, center and right areas are editable for "Header (Right)" => left, center and right areas are editable for "Header (Left)"
Further testing across different Mint setups shows this issue only occurs when LibreOffice runs with the GTK3 VCL backend inside a Plasma (KDE) session. Matrix of results: - Mint 21.3 Cinnamon (GTK3 3.24.33, X11) → OK - Mint 21.3 Plasma (GTK3 3.24.33, X11) → greyed header zones - Mint 22.2 Plasma (GTK3 3.24.41, X11) → greyed header zones - Mint 22.2 Plasma (KF5 Qt6 backend) → OK So it seems related to GTK3 + Plasma theme integration (possibly Breeze-GTK), not to the KF5/GTK3 backend itself.
(In reply to Michael Peter from comment #0) > → Result: the left and center areas in the "Header (Right)" page are greyed > and text cannot be entered There *is* a difference, but not as described above. "Header (Right)" is not greyed out in gtk3, but "Header (first)" is. With kf6 we can edit "(first)" as well, but is this intentional?
