Wayland Libreoffice dialogs problem

Desktop Environments Plasma
1

I’ve discovered a bug using Plasma / Wayland / Libreoffice, where clicking simple dialog popups such as the font size or the font color result in failure to display the dialog. Or more correctly I can sometimes see the color chooser flash briefly in middle of screen. Therefore cannot choose color.
Under X11 there is no problem.
As I am uncertain where the bug actually lies (LO or Plasma ?) I have not yet reported anywhere.

I can confirm the same…that’s the one bug which prevents me to use Wayland :neutral_face:

A further possible issue is NVIDIA graphics affecting Plasma in Wayland. All the same, the KDE developers may appreciate your filing a bug report even if it turns out that it isn’t a Plasma issue, per se.

It doesn’t seems, I have only Intel graphics and I face the same bug.

if on plasma, do you use the look of feel of plasma ?

see : /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.sh ? or qt5 :slight_smile:

[onyx@onyx-pc ~]$ cat /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.sh

to force a certain look’n feel

#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kf5
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3

The gtk3 option is recommended in Arch’s wiki, though I believe gtk3_kde5 worked for me as well.

Setting to gtk3_kde5 did the trick, thanks!

Hmmm just realised something has stuffed up the Global Menu by doing this too; it doesn’t appear at all in Libreoffice now, but used to. No reversion nor other options is bringing it back. Busy trying to hunt down what arcane file controls that.

The fix for menus not appearing with LO is to go into KDE system settings, Background services, turn off the Application Menus Daemon, Log out, back in.
