Re: [libreoffice-users] right-clicking Font list options not showing all my installed fonts

Hi :)
Normally i just scroll through the list of fonts.  It is a bit annoying that there is no scroll-bar 
i guess but i hadn't really thought about it.  Mouse wheels scroll through quite easily and there 
is (or 'should' be) fairly thin lines at the bottom of the list with the triangle / arrow type 
thing that you often see on drop-downs or sometimes pressing the first letter of the font name 
seems to work in most programs.  

If the fonts list is broken on your machines then it would be good to post a bug-report.  I guess 
you have already tried renaming the User Profile just to make sure it's not some weird setting or 
Extension misbehaving?
Regards from
Tom :)

I confirm this behavior using Ubuntu 12.04 and LO 3.5.4.2. I get some
B's to show. My guess is that only first `50 or so is shown.
