Description Hussam Al-Tayeb 2017-06-08 07:19:49 UTC
Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> View.
Look for the 'helpimg' icon theme under 'icon style'.
This particular icon theme seems broken outside the help viewer. It probably shouldn't show here. Selecting it makes the regular writer/calc miss toolbar icons.
Comment 1 Katarina Behrens (Inactive) 2017-06-08 20:02:16 UTC
It's not an icon theme at all. It's a collection of images used in help files, so ye, it shouldn't show there
Comment 2 Mihkel Tõnnov 2017-06-08 21:09:55 UTC
Confirmed. With a recently reset profile, 5.4 b2 now even set Helpimg as default icon theme (up until 5.4 b1 it was Oxygen, which is now not even listed in the options).
Mageia 5 x64, RPMs from TDF.

Comment 4 Hussam Al-Tayeb 2017-07-28 11:18:57 UTC
Libreoffice 5.4 was release containing this bug. Is it possible that someone can take look at this for 5.4.1?
Thank you.

Not broken, just no fall-back for the helpimg icon set when it gets selected as an icon theme.

It probably should be excluded from the imagetree and not show for selection, but since it is it needs a fallback--to Galaxy? That way at least the GUI won't go empty of icons.

Code pointers: 

cui/source/options/optgdlg.cxx, class OfaViewTabPage, variable for "Icon Style" listbox. It is populated w/ items in constructor with items from 'mInstalledIconThemes' member variable

To fix the bug: 
* either exclude 'helpimg' theme from mInstalledIconThemes in this class
* or do it 1 level up in vcl::StyleSettings (vcl/source/app/settings.cxx)

Comment 18 Rene Engelhard 2017-09-20 10:45:08 UTC
I believe this should be reopened.

It seems this fixes only the display of the theme in the options.

It doesn't fix that helpimg is detected and choosen as default theme. I can reproduce with both my 5.4.2 rc1 build and the TDF one.

But it's even worse:

- upstreams debs hang when trying to open Tools->Options->View
- my Debian build even "crash":m They show a "Fatal error" dialog box saying
"wrapped std::exception "Can not find theme id in theme vector".

So I believe there should be a fix in VCL to not even detect it.

How to reproduce:

Install LO. Either
- from 5.4.2 TDF debs. Then rm images_*.zip except galaxy and helpimh
- install the Debian debs from  http://www.rene-engelhard.de/~rene/libreoffice/5.4/. apt-get install libreoffice suffices. That just installs -style-galaxy. (images_helpimg.zip) is in -common.

This is always reproducible, even with a clean profile and goes away when
dowgrading back to 5.4.1
Comment 19 Rene Engelhard 2017-09-20 10:45:52 UTC
I also believe the comitted fix should be reverted, in master and libreoffice-5-4, but _especially_in libreoffice-5-4-2....
