Re: LibreOffice toolbars & menus are rendering badly
First, my apologies for the wrong subject line in my last message. I
normally remember to change the subject when I reply to the digest but
this time I either forgot or GMail outwitted me. (My money's on the
latter)
Thank you all for the suggestions. The problem definitely seems to be
in the libreoffice-kde package. Rather than install the -gtk3 package
as many suggested, I instead removed the -kde package. Now things seem
to be work normally.
As an added bonus, I'm getting some added nostalgia with the Win
9x-era rendering of the icons and menus!
With thanks,
