Hi All,

While editing some PDF’s I saw this, with a dualscreen setup under wayland:

OutlineError
OutlineError2215×228 25.3 KB

As seen in the picture, the dropdown menu’s in LibreOffice Draw are way off. This is the RPM version of LibreOffice.

Any clues to what may cause this?

Relevant software details.

Is there insuffience space on the screen to show the drop-down on the right?

It seems to only go wrong in fullscreen:

With a smaller window, it’s fine. Also, for the record, I’m running Dual-Head. One 1080p on the left, and 1440p on the right. With fullscreen on the 1440p screen, the issue happens.

EDIT:

Fullscreen on the 1080p screen is fine too.

I think you need to report this problem to libreoffice. I assume they have a bug tracker.

i guess kde plasma 6.3 is the culprit. they did some rework on the rendering in the upgrade to 6.3.

since 6.3 i am also facing some problems with libreoffice, like the wrong top menu entry being activated, which i filed here:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165279

they said it is related to gtk3 applications in plasma 6.3.:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500199

so i wildly guess that plasma 6.3 could be the issue here too.

maybe you file this bug also at kde :slight_smile:

gtk3:

The button for decreasing a value is now “X” while it used to be a minus
sign.

This should be fixed in newer versions of gtk.

Did someone test with gtk4?

Yes same here I guess, using the flatpak. Always in fullscreen, and the top menu sometimes appears on the very left but shortly.

The problem is definitely not with LibreOffice. I have experienced the same issue with virt-manager. More annoyingly, once you try to select the menu, you cannot seemingly close the window easily either.

As a data point, the bug seemingly cropped up after the first introduction of KDE 6.3. My desktop did not have this issue until I updated today. The last update before that was on the 17th. My laptop first experienced this issue after updating on Monday evening.
