In LibreOffice Writer, when a toolbar is docked, icons on the toolbar that can't be shown due to limited space are grouped to be shown in a vertical menu triggered by pressing the "more button" (the button with ">>" on it). The bug is that these icons that have sub-menu(e.g. a color palette) shown in a vertical menu don't have arrows beside them to trigger their respective sub-menu. However, it is expected that icons that have sub-menu should have arrows beside them even if they are grouped in a vertical menu.
Example:
On "Formatting" menu, the "Highlighting" button should have an arrow beside it such that a color palette can be shown after pressing the arrow for users to choose the highlighting color. However, when this button is grouped in a vertical menu triggered by pressing the "more button", the arrow is gone. As a result, users can't choose the highlighting color. Instead, users have to make the toolbar not docked such that the arrow appears again.

The same is for "Background Color" button.
I think apart from LIbreOffice Writer, LibreOffice Impress, LibreOffice Calc, etc also have this problem.
