            Bug ID: 139572
           Summary: status bar disappears
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com

Description:
The status bar disappears at unpredictable times.

Steps to Reproduce:
Unknown. Inception of problem not noticed. When using a document, problem
sometimes discovered.

Actual Results:
The window is maximized, which is how I like to work. I have a document open.
The status bar displays. Eventually, sometimes, I realize the status bar has
disappeared. I don't know exactly when it disappeared. Editing still works but
I can't see what the status bar says. I do not remember the predicate, what I
did that may have caused the problem.

For a solution, a kludgy one is to click the maximize/restore top-right button
twice. Clicking only once makes no apparent difference, because the window
still looks maximized, although it probably isn't. The second click is
necessary. I have not tested a double-click vs. two single clicks. The effect
of clicking twice seems to be of popping out from behind Gnome's desktop
environment's bottom panel.

When, on one occasion, I couldn't see the status bar, I clicked the
maximize/restore button twice, and that exposed the scroll bar.

Expected Results:
The status bar should remain visible all the time.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This is almost certainly an upstream problem, but I don't know where to go
upstream.


I suspect the problem is from either the status bar or the maximize/restore
functionality. If the status bar is at fault, the bar may be auto-disappearing
despite having been preferred by the user (View menu > Status Bar). If the
maximize/restore functionality is at fault, it may be executing a
demaximization that retains full window width and similar window height so that
the demaximization is not obvious to the user.

This is with LibreOffice Writer on Fedora 33 Linux, kept evergreen.

>From About LibreOffice:

Version: 7.0.4.2
Build ID: 00(Build:2)
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.9; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I recently checked for a corrupt UserProfile and there isn't one. I don't think
I have an OpenGL setting.

Possibly of interest: Bug 91323; bug 93799; bug 68801.

I have virtually the same problem with the gedit statusbar and the Firefox Find
bar (via ctrl-f). The problem began only recently on all three apps, but I
don't remember exactly when. The three apps likely have the same code from
somewhere upstream.
