Bug Description

With the version of LibreOffice Writer on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 I have noticed that even though (and I have tried turning them off and on again, it makes no difference) the horizontal and vertical scroll bar options are enabled, they do not show seemingly no matter what I do which is very annoying for long documents.

If you have libreoffice-gtk3 installed, please uninstall it for now as a workaround.

I worked around this for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS users of the GNOME 3 Staging PPA by having gnome-documents not recommend gir1.2-lokdocview-0.1 since that package depends on libreoffice-gtk3.

This bug should be reported to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/ if it hasn't been already.

Ubuntu by default uses the GTK2 version of LibreOffice. The gnome-documents situation is interesting because it means Ubuntu GNOME will probably use the GTK3 version of LibreOffice by default for 16.10.

So - you updated gtk to 3.20, but using the system LO? This isn't going to work. You have to recompile LO against gtk 3.20.
