Bug Description

With the version of LibreOffice Writer on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 I have noticed that even though (and I have tried turning them off and on again, it makes no difference) the horizontal and vertical scroll bar options are enabled, they do not show seemingly no matter what I do which is very annoying for long documents.

If you have libreoffice-gtk3 installed, please uninstall it for now as a workaround.

I worked around this for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS users of the GNOME 3 Staging PPA by having gnome-documents not recommend gir1.2-lokdocview-0.1 since that package depends on libreoffice-gtk3.

This bug should be reported to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/ if it hasn't been already.

Ubuntu by default uses the GTK2 version of LibreOffice. The gnome-documents situation is interesting because it means Ubuntu GNOME will probably use the GTK3 version of LibreOffice by default for 16.10.

 So - you updated gtk to 3.20, but using the system LO? This isn't going to work. You have to recompile LO against gtk 3.20.

As upstream mentioned, LO supports 3.20 but its a build time thing. We could just copy LO to the ppa to achieve that.

This will be fixed for yakkety once LibreOffice is rebuilt there, maybe this week.
