If you’re using KDE, apparently changing your system application style might help - Breeze, for example, has an option for visible scroll arrows. Link.
In any case, it’s a GTK thing, not a LibreOffice thing.


This strikes me as an odd comment. Did you have a specific reason to expect that 26.2 would include this, such as an enhancement request that you’d logged (or had been following) via their community channels?

Also, I’m curious about the UI refinement.
In the release notes you’ve linked, there’s a heading called User Interface. It’s a fair number of small QOL improvements.


a duckhead?
There’s a non-obvious freeze function in the Task Manager - for as long as you hold the Ctrl key, it’ll stop updating the list. I have no idea why this functionality is hidden, but I guess Dave Plummer had some unusual ideas about UX.


When you install LibreOffice now, the set-up guide encourages you gently to use the newer, friendlier tabbed interface. I don’t know if the same is true for in-place updates.
If you don’t love getting dog shit on your newly washed car, you should have thought of that before living 2-3 counties away from a future Float-a-Poo owner, and you have only yourself to blame.

I haven’t found a second angle of the same sign (though there are others with the same message), but I think it’s real.

I might be too dense for this - is it a joke about traumatic brain injuries? (I’m not being snide!)


Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the gardener spread out on my parlor floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Dropped no eaves, dropped no eaves


Just to clarify, since Yezhov (listed above in the post you’re replying to) was the main architect of the Yezhovshchina, and was himself later a victim of the same Great Purge, did he do some hard self-reflecting and turn himself in?


Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.


Not to mention that despite the impact of TV and radio, UK accents are wildly variant and it’s pretty much a guarantee that there’ll be corners that don’t make distinctions between at least two of these words.
There’s no such thing as “regular English” in the UK; the Thames Estuary accent is prescriptivism, not regularity.
When Lucas first sketched one out to give early collaborators a sense of what he wanted to make, he wrote “TIE” next to it without knowing what it would stand for (or so the story goes). Crew speculated that he’d already thought it looked a little like a bow tie and he hadn’t found the right backronym yet; apparently concept artist Joe Johnston proposed “twin ion engine”.
