Bug Description

Until today i didn't use LibreOffice on Ubuntu 16.04. I opened it today and i see menu/icon bar totally unusable with Ambiance theme and default Breeze style. (image attached)

The version installed is 5.1.2-0ubuntu1.

I did upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 with some issues.

Changing from Breeze to Human is usable but fugly.

No issue with Radiance theme.

A workaround to this issue is to open up /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice and add
export GTK_THEME=Radiance
line.

See attached pic for a fixed look. This should keep LibreOffice useable in gtk3 mode.

This is the vendor patch for LibreOffice on yakkety to make this work with the (patched) theme on gtk-3.20:
https://git.launchpad.net/~libreoffice/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/tree/patches/gtk3-toolbar-styleclass.diff?h=ubuntu-yakkety-5.2&id=93bf8e2da6110a244007208d56b89c31ef5fb1ad

The theme needs the patching as per libreoffice-toolbars-320 branch linked to this issue.
