missing checkboxes and radio-buttons in all dialogues

users
#1

Pretty much as the subject.

I have a machine running 5.1.6.2 (mint; version not to hand) that works correctly. My desktop box - 5.4.2.2 (mint 18.1) - shows no checkboxes in any (AFAICS) dialogue box. So I can't set any option anywhere, whether eg for printing or in the options.

I seem to suffer from long-standing bugs :frowning: I see from bugzilla from *2011* "[Bug 36345] Checkboxes missing from Options panel". Also 36263 - Zip file handling broken. OK, on windows, but I get /exactly/ the same symptoms: no checkbox and top of label text missing.

I also see "Debian Bug report logs - #870745
libreoffice-style-galaxy: Missing checkboxes and button icons" which says the issue is fixed by installing libreoffice-style-tango. This is available in synaptic, and I've installed it on the system. But I can't see how to tell LO to use it. For one thing, I don't have any checkboxes in the options dialogues. Catch-22 maybe :-{

Help please?

hello.
in windows, i did not have such issue until now.
can you try repairing libreoffice or if does not fix the problem, you
can completely uninstall it with all fulders and settings and
reinstall it again.

God bless you and his infinite mercy be for you!

In Ubuntu 17.04 LO 5.3.1.2 no problem

I replied earlier, but I suspect it's stuck in the moderation q.

I noted that:
....

"I've now downgraded(*) to 5.1.6.2, which is the version in the mint/ubuntu PPA rather than using that from the LO PPA. The checkboxes are back; hurray."

So, problem fixed for now, but cause unknown and still presumably due to something breaking between 5.1.6.2 (or 5.3.1.2) and 5.4.1.2.
