Small tab size and scrollbar (138.03 KB, image/png)

Description Darcy 2014-02-10 10:43:16 UTC 
Hello,

I'm not sure if this belongs here but I couldn't find a better place to put it.

The scroll bar in LibreOffice calc is very small and makes the sheet tabs virtually unusable (see attached screenshot).  I'm using the Adwaita theme with Fedora 20.

If you need any additional information I'm happy to provide it.

Thanks.

Small tab size and scrollbar

Note size of scrollbar and sheet tabs compared to other UI elements.

Screenshot looks like expected behavior to me.

Is there anyway to make it larger in that case?
Comment 4 Cosimo Cecchi 2014-02-10 20:57:42 UTC 
Looks like this is Libreoffice not correctly supporting hi-dpi displays yet.
Darcy, can you confirm you're running on a high-density display? Not much we can do from the theme either way unfortunately.
Comment 5 Darcy 2014-02-11 22:50:25 UTC 
Hi Cosimo,

I can confirm I am on a high dpi screen but there is still the same problem on larger screen.  I did some testing for the high DPI support on LibreOffice but the same problem was there.  When I asked the developer he thought that the problem was with gnome.
Comment 6 Keith Curtis 2014-05-01 15:03:51 UTC 
This isn't just a problem with LibreOffice Calc. It happens with every single Gnome app, starting with 3.10.0 and at least till 3.12.0. The screenshot and the title bar might just mention LibreOffice, but the problem is much more general.
Comment 7 Darcy 2014-10-24 01:04:26 UTC 
Marking as obsolete, looks like the Libreoffice team are changing the layout of the sheet tabs.  A change of slider-width in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to a larger value solves the problem in the mean time.
Comment 8 Keith Curtis 2015-03-25 19:39:13 UTC 
This bug is not obsolete. The scrollbars in all the apps are too small.
Comment 9 Darcy 2015-03-26 23:32:33 UTC 
Updated to reflect that GTK2 does not scale widgets (scrollbars and dropdowns) based on screen DPI.  Is it possible to get a stop gap between GTK3 port and GTK2?
Comment 10 Lapo Calamandrei 2015-04-09 09:32:05 UTC 
This is not a theme bug unfortunatelly, Cosimo can we do something about this one gtkwise?
Comment 11 Cosimo Cecchi 2015-04-10 17:37:59 UTC 
Lapo, not much we can do unfortunately. GTK2 does not support HiDpi.
