Description:
When i linux mint 22.3 and start libre office writer then 3 icons are invisible
on the main quick menu.

The following 3 icons are invisible BUT working when i click on them.
bold
underlined text

I forgot to say. I am using linux mint 22.3 and im Using the Danish interface instead of English. But i doubt that is the reason.

First: Go to Help → About LibreOffice and copy the version information. Here:
Version: 25.8.4.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: 290daaa01b999472f0c7a3890eb6a550fd74c6df
CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 6.4; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE
Calc: threaded

Please add the screenshot to the bug (Add an attachment), not as link.

When seeing the link, I could see the buttons for underlined, bold and italic - but all icons will be shown with a horrible contrast: White fonts and a light grey background. Do you use dark mode?

What did you choose in Tools → Options → LibreOffice → Appearence → LibreOffice Themes?
