OK, good instincts, wg. Probably should have thought to check my graphics card
settings.
1. This does not occur when I have my second monitor turned off, or when it is
turned on and in landscape mode.
2. This does occur when I have my second monitor turned on and in portrait mode.
I imagine this should drop the priority of the issue, since it is related to a
specific desktop configuration that many may not be using. I'll let someone
with more experience than I decide what priority it should be.
Consider the following, though: the behavior of the "curve" palette and the
dropdown at the end of the toolbar is different than for the rest of the
dropdowns, so even if this is tied in to my specific hardware and / or video
card driver, there's something different about those dropdowns that shouldn't be
different.
The reason I believe this happens in portrait and not in landscape: my main LCD
(on the laptop) is 1600x1200. The second monitor is 1280x1024. When I have it
in portrait mode, then, its vertical resolution is 1280, which is 80 pixels
taller than the LCD on my laptop. I have Impress or Draw maximized on my laptop
LCD, and somehow a select few of those dropdowns end up thinking they have the
extra 80 pixels to play with.
It remains to be seen whether this affects someone only with my specific video
card and drivers, or whether this affects anyone whose extended desktop space
has more vertical pixels than does the primary desktop space.
Here are some hardware specifics, in case it helps:
I'm running this on a Thinkpad T43p 2668H2U, which has a 129MB ATI Mobiliy
FireGL V3200. Bios (video card) BK-ATI Ver008.020M.042.003. Driver from ATI,
1/21/06, version 8.163.1.11.
