Documentation images (e.g. of icons) missing

[jimav]

Help docs contain some images, e.g., of buttons/icons, but they seem to be missing from the Ubuntu distribution.

Instead of the missing images you see some kind of default icon with the text "vnd.sun.st" (see attached screen-shot).

Some of these are quite crucial -- they document actions which can only (apparently) be accessed by pressing a button, not via menus. So if you can't see what the button looks like, there is no way to know how to access that function.

TO REPRODUCE:

Help->Libre Office Help
Search for "read-only documents;editing"

RESULTS: It says "use the Edit File icon to activate..." (no mention of any other way, such as via menus), and displays an error icon.

EXPECTED RESULTS: You should see a picture of the icon you are supposed to use.

RELEVANT DETAILS: Affects the help in any language.

I tested this on
LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2),
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with a HP AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 840T Processor × 4, using 32 bit.
I confirmed this as I got the same screen shot.

As a workaround, installing the libreoffice-style-galaxy package seems to do the trick.. Perhaps the icons you get this way are not in the intended style, but they convey the intended meaning and makes the help system look less broken.

[Mark Grieveson (dg135)]

I installed the libreoffice-style-galaxy package, and some of the documentation images show up now, but there are still some images missing in the help.

[Jason Nicholson (jasonnicholson)]

This still a problem. I have tried updating to LibreOffice 4.4 from the PPA but that didn't fix the issue with the help files. This is really annoying and frustrating.

Here is what I have installed for libreoffice:

This is still a problem in 15.10 and the workaround using the "libreoffice-style-galaxy" does not seems to work.

[Bruno Beaufils (beaufils)]

The #1522657 bug I opened is maybe a duplicate of this one (I did not find it before).

@ Bruno Beaufils

If you find a bug in a recent release, just put its first name into the tag list.

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

Resolved in LibreOffice 5.0/Wily as all themes depend on galaxy as fallback. See also: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93134 and
https://git.launchpad.net/~libreoffice/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/commit/?id=8381f38292ac25bc161364bab27120e180101fb1

[Bruno Beaufils (beaufils)]

The fix is not is not yet available in current up-to-date Ubuntu (15.10) as visible on the attached screenshot.
