Sheet names suddenly stopped showing on spreadsheet (which I don't see a choice for, so I suppose it's Calc)

I reopened my spread sheet, and I am no longer able to see the names of the sheets, which makes it impossible to use.

24.8

The question is, since the sheet names had been visible, how do they get turned off? This has happened twice.

Libre Office frequently freezes, most often when using the Sheet edit to add a row, for example, and sometimes freezes the entire computer.

In the link, you can see:

I understand. What I’m wondering, given that it takes 5 steps, how they managed to disappear in the first place. It certainly wasn’t because I took steps to get rid of them.

The next time that happens, I try using those steps.

A bit more detail please, This is the guide - How to use the Ask site? - #3 by Hrbrgr

I tried the Ask site first.

OK. I thought you might like assistance to prevent the crashes but without information about your set up I can only point you to this page for you to work through First steps to take before submitting a bug - The Document Foundation Wiki

Now the dark mode, I mean the mode for nights, is malfunctioning in Libre Office, and I can’t read some of the menus because the letters aren’t switching to white. This is new.

The drop menu under Tools is working, but I don’t see Options.

Time to dump Libre Office, obviousy

A guess then

  • Are you on Mac? Then it is LibreOffice > Preferences > … The path is the menu path, not tabs
  • If you are on 25.2 then you could change to Light mode temporarily so you can see, select one of the preset themes in LibreOffice > Preferences > LibreOffice > Appearance and click the icon with tooltip Add more themes, or you could backup and then reset your user profile

Don’t bother any more. I’ve downloaded another suite.

Actually, I don’t see it there either, and I don’t understand why it spontaneously changes itself, but I’ve downloaded Mobi, and I can transfer all my text documents by cutting and pasting.

Thank you for your efforts,

The setting to show the sheet tabs or not is stored in the document. Any document where the tabs are hidden should be displayed this way with any spreadsheet software.
Unhide the sheet tabs, save the document and everything should be fine.
