Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 116735
Toolbars and menu bar too large in version 3.3

I had Open Office 3.2.1 already installed and working fine. Today I updated to version 3.3. The installation process went smoothly but when I opened Calc for the first time the toolbars and menu bar were about twice as tall as the icons and text. This is how the UI looked: http://www.econos.altervista.org/ooo33_toolbars.jpg I tried re-installing but the result was the same. The issue happens in all Ooo applications, not only in Calc. LibreOffice 3.3 has the same behaviour. I uninstalled OOO 3.3, reinstalled 3.2 and everything was back to normal.

Try switching to Windows XP standard theme.
Solved, thanks! Please accept my excuses for wasting your time.
