Screenshot of ambiguous tab bar in LibreOffice Calc 5.4.7 (Redmond GTK2 theme)
I have recently switched my system to use GTK2 Redmond theme (usually known as
"Windows Classic" theme) to improve contrast; but as soon as I tried to use
LibreOffice Calc, I found that Calc does not correctly draw tab bars
within tab widgets- making the active tab looked just like other
non-active ones.
This problem makes operating tabbed dialogs like "Format Cells" and
"Page Style" really difficult and confusing.
Exact steps to reproduce:
- Set system's GTK2 widget theme to "Redmond".
- Start LibreOffice Calc.
- Right-click on cell A1.
- Choose "Format Cells".
- Format Cells dialog will appear.
- Click on "Borders" tab.
- Press Tab key, the focus will move to the "Set No Borders" line preset.
- You will see that it is now _very hard_ to discern which tab of the dialog
is currently active. The only clue left is a subtly raised position of
the "Borders" tab.
Calc's "Format Cells" dialog screenshot is attached as
`librecalc5.4.7-redmond-ambiguoustab.png`.
Screenshot of The Widget Factory (a native GTK2 theme testing program)
is also attached for a reference as `thewidgetfactory0.2.1-redmond.png`.
A comparison between Calc screenshot and The Widget Factory (especially
its bottom-left part) shows that LibreOffice's GTK2 VCL toolkit's tab bar
omitted the bottom white line that should have been running under
all of the non-active tabs.
Since this is a VCL-wide problem, I believe this affects parts of
_all_ LibreOffice programs (not just Calc) that use the tab widget.
