No arrows on my OpenOffice using Xubuntu; simply pull the shaded sliders to move the display.

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
This would suggest the missing arrow keys in Open Office 4.1.7 are not by design, and that some GUI library is missing in my Linux system, but what?Zizi64 wrote:There are arrows in my AOO 4.1.7 Portable version on Windows 10.

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
Or it might suggest that the widget style in KDE is configured to not show scroll bar arrows. For example, the Oxygen theme has scroll bar configuration.

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
Try the standard VCL plugin with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen. Try to launch AOO from terminal with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen soffice and see if they are there.
No integration with the theme but personally I prefer it that way (on my LibreOffice).

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
I've used this trick for years with AOO also on my xubuntu box.
Creating a .desktop file doesn't work for files launched by another application (mail attachment for example). I used to tweak the soffice file in /usr/bin to include the line "export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen".

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
Replacing symlink /usr/bin/soffice with an executable script seems to do the trick:
but now the libreoffice.desktop files don't work properly. I can't dock the symbol to the ... "task bar".
I thought of setting SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN in the global environment but forgot how to do that properly.
Code: Select all
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice $@

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
Actually, since I've installed manually LO to prevent an automatic upgrade to 7.1, I've added the export line in /opt/libreoffice7.0/program/soffice and I've 2 symlinks (soffice and libreoffice7.0 in /usr/local/bin). No problem to pin the LO icon in the XFCE dekstop bar, using the standard entry detected by the system, no need of a custom .desktop file.

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
I see. In a Gnome environment the desktop integration depends on
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk
With SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen the documents do not appear in Gnomes list of recently used files and the application is somewhat invisible.
For now I'll recover the default status and use the variable when needed.

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
My understanding is by KDE, you're referring to KDE5. However, I'm using KDE3.5 as the GUI desktop. Do you know how to configure KDE5 widgets from KDE3.5. So far, I haven't been able to find anything about that.robleyd wrote:Or it might suggest that the widget style in KDE is configured to not show scroll bar arrows.

I'm actually using KDE 4.14.3. On reflection, if your problem is only with OpenOffice, my suggestion is not relevant.

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
@ xode0000: no idea. The generic VCL plugin trick may not work for all desktop managers.

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
Hi, and welcome to the forum.
This is my screen on MacOS 10.14.6 with OpenOffice 4.1.7. The scrollbars look acceptable to me, similar to other Mac applications.xode0000 wrote:Please see attached screenshot.
I can't say because I am not a developer. This is not a developers' forum. Look in OpenOffice Bugzilla. Can you find it there as an accepted issue? Then it's a bug. Otherwise it's not. Did my system a dozen years ago used to show arrows at the ends of the scrollbar? I have no idea. Even if it did, just because something has changed doesn't make it a bug.xode0000 wrote:Is it a bug?

Re: Missing arrow keys on scrollbars
I don't think, it's a bug. My desktop environment does not show any scroll buttons neither. All appllications show the same scroll bars without buttons on the ends, except OpenOffice which uses its own widgets with classic scrollbars.
