Horizontal scrollbar in Writer Navigator window broken in RTL interface. No scroll handle is available, and the left and write arrows function incorrectly. Steps to reproduce: 1. Using RTL interface, such as Hebrew, create a writer document and type one line of 10-15 words. Select the line and define its style to be "Title 1" (In Hebrew, כותרת 1). 2. Launch navigator window by pressing F5. Note that the line you type appears in the window, but it is truncated because it is too long to fit. 3. Try to view the entire line in the Navigator window by using the horizontal scrollbar at its bottom. Current behavior: 1. The horizontal scrollbar shows no "handle" to drag. 2. Clicking on the arrows to the side of the horizontal scrollbar works, but inversely. The right arrow scrolls to the left, the left arrow scrolls to the right. Expected behavior: 1. The horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of navigator window should show a handle when it is needed. 2. Clicking on the right arrow should scroll to the right, clicking on the left arrow should scroll to the left.
This is not limited to writer. The navigator window exists in all Libreoffice apps. Also and more importantly, The main horizontal scrollbar in calc suffers from the same issue. This is confirmed by another user in Hebrew forums: http://www.whatsup.co.il/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=58138 I think that this makes it a major bug.
Verified with 3.5.0beta2, changing status to new and blocking the RTL meta issue. Please open another issue regarding Calc, so it's importance and priority could change (which is less relevant for this issue).
Problem still exists in Version 3.6.0beta1 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:11)).
Still broken in version 3.6.4.3.
Any update ? I found one file that I think it is responsable about this issuse you can find it in vcl/unx/gtk/gdi/salnativewidgets-gtk.cxx this file have the function that will paint the scrollBar. @I work under ubuntu Release 12.10 (quantal) 64-bit GNOME 3.6.0
I submit a patch fixing this bug, take a look here https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/1806/

Verified on master, bug only happen with presence of the gnome integration... Any reason not to cherry-pick to the 4-0 branch ?
