Libreoffice 6.4 base problem with date dropdown control Linux - Solved

[leonc]

Hi I am using libreoffice 6.4.1 Base in endeavour OS linux (arch). I am having a problem with date control in a form where I set it to dropdown. When I enter the field it takes a while to respond and when I click the down arrow it again takes a while to responds after the second click. However I can not click in any other form control after I click on the dropdown and cursor is gone. If I close the form and reopen I can then enter other fields.

I have tried on a laptop with EndeavourOS and same thing happens. Tried Openoffice on the laptop and that is fine.

Has anyone got this problem or can you help out. Am I missing a graphic plugin or something. I have to use windows libreoffice which is fine.

thanks

I am going to mark this as solved since the problem is now fixed, I believe. I am not sure just how but I have changed couple of things and ever since libreoffice is looking and acting a lot better. One was to install ttf-ms-fonts from AUR and the other and possibly the main one is that I configured default UI renderer as VCL:gtk3_kde5.
