LibreOffice has recently updated on my Linux system and now my forms look horrible.
All labels now have a 3D sunken effect.
I have tried editing the form and changing the label control properties from “3-D look” to “Without frame” (which was a pain to do because I have lots of fields), saved the form and it reverts to 3-D look.
I tried again this time also saving the database (as well as the form), closing base and re-starting, the result is the same the forms reverts to 3-D effect.

This is a real problem for me as I have a number of forms which are highly populated and the 3-D effect on the Labels overlaps the data entry fields. This was never been a problem for the last 5 years and just appeared in the last few days.

Is this just me, confined to Linux (Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS) or a general issue?

may be ?

Wait for an update to 25.2.6. It will be fixed.

menu:Form>Form Navigator…
Ctrl-Click all the labels. They have a special icon. Right-click>Properties… and change properties for the entire selection.
This works with different kinds of controls as well. The properties dialog will show only properties common to the entire selection.
