Guys,

   I think the GTK update made the LibreOffice 'save' dialog 'document type' 
list box unreadable. Where you used to be able to read: "All Formats" "Open 
Document Text .odt" "Word 97 .doc", etc..., now the entire list is squished 
down into a 1/2 of screen space and is unreadable. Here is a screenshot:

   This happened as a result of the updates this morning. The updates were:

   The only update that looks relevant is: gtk2 (2.24.5-3 -> 2.24.6-1). Is 
anyone else seeing this? If so, any idea whether this is a GTK2 bug or a Libre 
bug? I'm just trying to figure out where this bug goes....
