Description: When toolbars are docked below the menu bar or above the status bar, the gradient background disappears under certain multi-row configurations. Normally, docked toolbars have a vertical gradient from bottom to top: the bottom is #F0F0F0 and the top is #FFFFFF. However, when the number of docked toolbar rows reaches certain combinations, the gradient disappears and the toolbar background becomes a flat #F0F0F0 color. As a result, the color difference between these bars (the menu bar and the status bar) and the toolbars becomes very noticeable and visually unappealing. This issue has been confirmed in Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw. Steps to Reproduce: (Same steps apply to Calc, Impress, and Draw) 1. Launch Writer. 2. Dock any toolbar below the menu bar or above the status bar. 3. Restart Writer by closing LibreOffice entirely. Actual Results: The gradient disappears for docked toolbars under the following row combinations (confirmed cases only): - Bottom 1 row + Top 1 row - Bottom 1 row + Top 2 rows (gradient disappears only on the bottom) - Bottom 2 rows + Top 2 rows - Bottom 3 rows + Top 2 rows (gradient disappears only on the bottom) The gradient remains under the following combination (confirmed case only): - Bottom 2 rows + Top 3 rows Expected Results: The gradient should remain visible on all docked toolbars. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: The version used to investigate the conditions is shown below, but the issue is also reproducible in the 25.8 and 25.2 series. If my memory is correct, it also occurred in versions prior to the 24.x series.

Addition: - Bottom 1 row + Top 3 rows (gradient disappears only on the bottom) Correction: - Bottom 2 rows + Top 3 rows: The gradient on the bottom had disappeared.
