Created attachment 81407 [details] screenshot When using the "Large Text" accessibility feature (in GNOME) which increases the font size, most parts of the UI are scaled correctly except for the tabs at the bottom of the window which list the spreadsheets in the document. The text inside the tabs is not scaled, nor are the tabs themselves scaled.
This problem occur in any version of libreoffice. This because the size of the sheet tabs are controled by the horizontal scrollbars size...
This might need some design change. Either we need to make the scroll bar wider or leave some free space around or something else. So, I add a design guy into CC.
Ha. This is a fun problem, because on the other hand, most OS's are working on removing or shrinking scrollbars, so people have to use touchscreens/touchpads/ mouse scroll wheels. * Ubuntu generally uses overlay scrollbars that are two pixels wide (LibreOffice luckily doesn't support this) * Mac OS uses disappearing scrollbars (I don't think we support this either, but I am not a Mac user) * Gnome uses the scrollbars you can see in the screenshot (Hey, LibreOffice supports them!) * Windows 8 "Metro" mode uses huge, but disappearing scrollbars (LibreOffice doesn't support the "Metro" mode) * Windows 8 Desktop mode uses normal scrollbars (Phew ... but at the same time, Microsoft would rather do away with it) * Elementary OS (customised Ubuntu) uses extremely small scrollbars (we support them, and it is terrible … we can be glad they don't have a large marketshare) So, in summary, I think the only solution here is to move the tabs out of the scrollbar. Some options: 1. Draw them in the status bar, although that is probably undesirable, because: * It renders Calc unusable to anyone who tries to remove the status bar – so we'd need a backup placement * Supposedly, the status bar has the word "status" in it for a reason * As you can see from the screenshot, it would become a question where to put bottom-docked toolbars * Rather small space available 2. Give them a full line of screen space, below the scrollbar * may waste some space, but everyone who is using lots of sheets would probably be pretty happy * would allow to draw native tabs (which would make me personally rather happy) – although the sheet colours may stand in the way of getting native tabs 3. Steal some space from the formula bar * Would allow drawing native tabs (if the tab colouring thing worked with native tabs) * Would make the space pretty crammed * There would need to be an alternate solution for people who hide the formula bar (although that is probably rare)

(In reply to comment #4) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 36772 *** Are you sure this is a duplicate? This bug is about an accessibility feature which should be used automatically (i.e. using the correct default), whereas the other bug is about overwriting the default.
