Overlayed scrollbar obscures important sidebar buttons (Ubuntu 22.04/LibreOffice 7.3.7.2.)

cu flag

I need to access more advanced options in the sidebar in LibreOffice Writer, such as the paragraph and character options. Today, all of a sudden, these became inaccessible due to the scrollbar (see the below screenshot), even though I did nothing to change the latter (which is overlayed). I even tried undocking the sidebar, but the problem persists. I am using the default look. In the view settings, the icon size is set to automatic and the icon style is Colibre. I have tried finding a solution on Google and by looking through the settings, but in vain (Google often brings up results that have nothing to do with what I searched for). I know that I can right click to access the advanced formatting options, but that interrupts down my workflow. When can I do to rectify this issue? If possible, I don't want to deactivate the overlayed scrollbar (and somehow, this wasn't an issue before).

To summarize:

Expected behavior: to be able to click the button to access more formatting options in the sidebar

Observed behavior: sidebar hides said buttons, making it impossible to click on them.

I am using LibreOffice 7.3.7.2. on Ubuntu 22.04. I also have LO 7.5.4.2. installed as an AppImage. I opened it to see if it would be any different, but I had the same issue (though I get the impression that the same config files are used).

Please let me know if anything is missing from this question.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
