base table window navigation tool

At least under Ubuntu Gnome this tool is awfully small, unreadable. How to
enlarge it ? I tried using gnome_color chooser (suggested by the French
forum), to no avail.

does anybody know ?

Bonsoir

Hi Robert,

forum), to no avail.

Could you please explain where to find "base table navigation tool"?
Doens't know what you mean. I have read "base table" and thought it has
to be something for the database of LO. But when I read gnome-color
chooser I couldn't guess, what is "small and unreadable".

Regards

Robert

Many thanks. Indeed it's related to the window used by the base module to display tables. The left part of the low border of the window shows icons  to go to First, Previous, Next, Last..
These, small, icons are the poblem

À demain !

Please indicate which version of Ubuntu Gnome you are running.
Please also indicate which version of LibreOffice you are attempting to
use, i.e. distro-provided, extra PPA, or TDF download.

Your problem might be distro-sepcific and UI specific, in which case it
is unlikely to be a LO problem.

I should have specified again (I did in the French forum, does Esperanto has a future?) that I'm using
Version: 5.4.2.2
Build ID: 1:5.4.2-0ubuntu0.17.10.1

i.e. the distro-provided version

Indeed it seems to me that some months ago this problem was not there...

further suggestions happened in the French list, leading to a solution

Ubuntu Tweak > Adjustments> Theme Gtk
select HighContrast
(not very nice, but readable)

So, a distrib-specific problem then with regard to GTK theming ?

I haven't encountered an Ubuntu distrib-release version of LibreOffice
yet (and I've been through a fair few), that hasn't had more bugs than
the version provided by TDF...

I don't think so, since the problem affects only "base" windows, but not "calc" ones.

I'll try to run another version of LO, but is it possible to install it in parallel ?

Hi :slight_smile:
i think it is possible to have 2 or more instances installed alongside each
other. The main thing is (or used to be) to not have "quick launcher" on.
I think it's not on by default

I think that if you try to open more than one version of LO at a time then
one or both just crash. The quick-launcher thing is one instance.
