Bug ID: 121980
Summary: No pop-up help for buttons on the menu for LO Ver
6.1.x and 6.2.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org

Pop-up help for menu buttons in LO 6.0

If the mouse pointer is placed on any button on the menu, it is expected a help
indicator will pop up explaining the function of the button. This was the case
up until version 6.0. See screenshot attached. The popup, "Underline" does not
appear in Libre Office 6.1 or 6.2.

From 6.1.0 onwards, including 6.2, when the mouse pointer is placed on any
button, the icon simply vibrates but no help indicator pops up.

Without the indicator, it becomes difficult to understand the difference in
functions of similar looking buttons on the menu.

I have tested this on Siduction and Antergos. Both show the same performance.

Thank you for reporting the bug. To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your

Hi,

I have started Libre Office in safe mode according to the wiki and the problem
persists.

I have investigated further, and my findings are as follows:

Siduction (Debian):

LO1:6.1.3-2, pop-up help works fine if libreoffice-gkt2 package is installed,
and libreoffice-gtk3 package is removed.

LO1:6.1.3-2, pop-up help does not work if libreoffice-gkt3 package is
installed, and libreoffice-gtk2 package is removed.

LO1:6.1.3-2, pop-up help does not work if libreoffice-gkt2 and libreoffice-gtk3
packages are installed.

LO1:6.2.0.0, pop-up help does not work with either Libreoffice-gt2, or
Libreoffice-gt3, or both.

Antergos (Arch):

I did not find any package libreoffice-gtkx in Arch repositories, and could not
remove gtk3 package, as several other apps depend on it. Therefore,

LO6.1.3-2 and LO6.2 both do not show pop-up help messages.
