            Bug ID: 130234
           Summary: Themes, feedback and tabulators - and nobody cares!
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: temporary-because-its-needed-stupid at trash-mail.com

Description:
1. LibreOffice has white text on white background (so no visible items in the
menus) if main theme of Linux is changed to something dark before LO is
installed.
2. There is still no possibility for generating feedback WITHOUT creating an
account. As my email address is also very personal, this is against German law!
3. LO still doesn't allow for REAL tabulators. If you must know the difference:
REAL tabulators can be generated without destroying the whole layout. The ones
on the left are not removed because I create a new one. And real tabulators are
not bound to a single paragraph or template. In MS Word I can use this funny
key to get a tabulator. No matter in which paragraph I am, this tabulator is
always in the same place. In LO, although the whole document has the same
template, just with numbered lists, this tabulator is always on another place.
There is no possibility to get a tabulator that is always at the same place, no
matter at which part of the document I am.

You are forgetting that we Linux users fight against Microsoft. There can't be
many of us if the only usable office suite is not developing further. It's all
the same for me if it all looks like Win95. But it has to function as if it was
made in 2020 and not 1995.
And no, I can't program. At least nothing than can be used on a Linux system.
That's why I use this way to get my opinion out.

And because LO is missing this tabulator feature, I really will have to start
my MS computer and install Office 2010 again. LO is not usable for academic
work. I love my Linux. But I still could not find any alternative for MS Word.
And I can't remember Office 95 being so different. MS uses the same office
suite for 20 years. It just looks better, uses up more space and doesn't
function on older computers anymore.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a derivate of Ubuntu, Debian or whatever where LO isn't shipped
with, choose a dark theme, install LO, get a complete white LO (or something
that looks like complete white on modern displays)
2. Try to set a tabulator that will be on the same place (e.g. 10,5cm from the
left site of a page) in a document with 100 pages or more, with more than 20
templates without wasting more than 5 minutes. It doesn't matter if you waste
this time before actually writing the document or after (there were really
undfriendly people in the forums, insulting someone because they thought he was
too stupid to set a simple tabulator, because he should have done that before
the document was written - but they didn't tell how this could be easier).
If you really get this done, publish it on your blog, on LinkedIn or wherever
you have an account and it can be easily found!


Actual Results:
1. A white LO
2. Tabulators that act with a paragraph, not the page. And it has to be set in
every single template/paragraph.

Expected Results:
1. LO should have the same colors as Linux. It is a fork of Open Office, isn't
it? So it is primarily programmed for Linux? Then it should behave like it was
a Linux application on Linux.
2. Set a tabulator in the page settings so it would be available in the whole
document, at the same place on every page


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Don't try to contact me. It's only feedback.
It is very easy today to create an acccount anywhere. Just deleting it can be
much harder. And I can't see a way to delete this one. This is why I used a
temporary email address.
I already have too many accounts everywhere on the web. I don't need another.
