Description Michèle Garoche 2010-10-02 12:26:34 UTC
Created attachment 39122 [details]
screenshot of the tools not accessible in red

System/Architecture: Mac OS X 10.5.8 Intel
LibreOffice version: 3.3.0

When dragging toolbars which have fields or submenu like Picture in Impress, some elements are no more accessible.
Comment 1 Jan Holesovsky 2010-10-14 05:22:46 UTC
Can you please specify more what you mean by 'are no more accessible'?  It is impossible to click on them?  Or?

You may click on them of course, but it has no effect. You cannot view the submenu for colors or the field and the arrows for transparency as when they are positioned horizontally.
Screenshots attached.

Sub menu color expands now. The reminder does not expand.
A screenshot showing the difference between the toolbar when placing horizontally and vertically is attached.

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC1 - WIN XP German UI  [OOO330m17 (build 3.3.0.1". Because no precise version information from reporter available I set this one in picker.
Also a Prolbem in CALC and WRITER, so general UI problem. It seems that pulldowns or icons with pulldowns have problems in vertically adjusted toolbars, for example format toolbar /  character size. 

I generally do not use vertical toolbars since OOo 1.4, but users with widescreen monitors might use that, and it's very visible problem, so I will nominate this one as a blocker.

@Cédric:
May be we are lucky and the problem will have been solved with the fix for Bug 32172?
Comment 9 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2010-12-16 04:20:52 UTC
Also a problem with OOo 3.4-dev and OOo 3.1.1, I become a little doubtful concerning my blocker classification.

Well, I don't really agree having that one as a blocker: this may even not be a regression and people still can use the toolbars. This can be fixed in a micro release.

No it's completely unrelated code.
Comment 11 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2010-12-16 06:44:05 UTC
Blocker -> Normal, hasn't been a big problem for OOo, so here it isn't a blocker, too.
Comment 12 sasha.libreoffice 2011-04-19 04:58:25 UTC
Even toolbar Format has problem in vertical position. 
And this bug is duplicate for bug 35000

Comment 14 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-08-02 09:16:10 UTC
Quick test with "LibreOffice 3.4.2  - WIN7  Home Premium (64bit) Spanish UI [OOO340m1 (Build:203)]" still showed the problem. Visible icons work fine, but if Toolbar is too long "context Menu" does not work, no picker appears For WRITER character color, background, ...  But that "no picker appears" is something different, also is a problem with horizontal docked toolbar

I also still see reported Impress / DRAW picker problems.
Comment 15 Björn Michaelsen 2011-12-23 13:25:13 UTC
Since all new unconfirmed bugs start in state UNCONFIRMED now and old unconfirmed bugs were moved to NEEDINFO with a explanatory comment, all bugs promoted above those bug states to NEW and later are automatically confirmed making the CONFIRMED whiteboard status redundant. Thus it will be removed.

Comment 19 Julien Nabet 2012-08-06 15:16:43 UTC
Just for an update, on master sources updated today, I reproduce these kind of problems.
I noticed no specific logs on console when the problem occured.
Comment 20 Frank Winklmeier 2012-09-06 10:07:13 UTC
I am seeing the same problem with Version 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214) on Ubuntu 11.04 (x86). In Impress or Writer, clicking on the little black dropdown arrow of the "Font Color" toolbar icon has no effect. No dropdown menu appears. The same is true for some of the other toolbar icons I tried (e.g. arrow style). Others like "Font Size" or "Font Name" work just fine. Contrary to the other reports here, it doesn't matter weather the toolbar is attached horizontally or vertically. The dropdown never works. I tried a complete re-install and also deleted .config/libreoffice/3/user without success. This makes LibreOffice basically unusable for me at the moment.
Comment 21 sasha.libreoffice 2012-09-06 10:30:31 UTC
@ Frank Winklmeier
Thanks for additional testing. 
Please, do not change "Version" and "Platform"
Comment 22 Frank Winklmeier 2012-10-30 16:15:24 UTC
I still see the same problem that I reported in comment #20 with Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: da8c1e6). It makes LibreOffice completely unusable on Ubuntu for me. Please let me know in case you need more information.
Comment 23 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-10-31 05:47:10 UTC
May be we have to find different solutions for each affected button / icon / selector?

I reduce this bug to 1 icon from original report

@Michèle Garoche
Can you please submit separate bugs for each separate problem and list these bugs in "Bug 56602 - [Task]: Make toolbar icon function available for vertical toolbar arrangement"? I hope so we can get start fixing these problems a little quicker.
Comment 24 Frank Winklmeier 2012-11-02 10:12:00 UTC
@Rainer Bielefeld: I observe this problem for both vertical and horizontal toolbars. Should I submit a new bug report for this or is it the same issue?
Comment 25 bfoman (inactive) 2013-07-23 12:41:35 UTC
Confirmed with:
LO 4.2.0.0.alfa0
Build ID: 2013-06-24 own debug build 
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit

Still an issue.
Comment 26 J. A. 2013-12-05 09:05:28 UTC
When using vertical toolbars, the "Font Name" and "Font Size" (and probably other) buttons do not work as triggers for drop-down menus, as they do in horizontal mode. 

Font Name at least opens the "Character" dialogue, which is not the expected behavior. 

Font Size does nothing at all.

Feels like vertical toolbar users are second-class citizens, which is curious given the prevalence of small widescreen monitors on laptops in which vertical space is at a premium and two-up is not practical.

Using 4.1.2.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.

Please read this message in its entirety before responding.

Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any activity on it for over a year. Your bug is still set to NEW which means that it is open and confirmed. It would be nice to have the bug confirmed on a newer version than the version reported in the original report to know that the bug is still present -- sometimes a bug is inadvertently fixed over time and just never closed.

If you have time please do the following:
1) Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (preferably 4.2 or newer).
2) If it is present please leave a comment telling us what version of LibreOffice and your operating system.
3) If it is NOT present please set the bug to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment telling us your version and Operating System

Please DO NOT
1) Update the version field
2) Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
3) Set the bug to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)

Hi,

At the time I reported the bug, I was using Win XP SP3. Now I use Ubuntu Linux 14.04. LO is now is version 4.3.1.2. The bug concerning increase or decrease font is not present in this version.
(In reply to QA Administrators from comment #28)
So, as far as I am concerned, this bug can is resolved.
