This really really needs to get fixed for ALL versions on Libreoffice. I am not a developer so I cannot fix this, but I know it is localized to Ubuntu, and is VERY important. I know people who have been critisizing Ubuntu for being unprofessional for a bug as big as this remaining for well over a year now.

Other corners and sides works fine for resizing the window. A screenshot of this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/749986/+attachment/2078779/+files/Libreoffice_resize-grip.png WORKAROUND: Resize using the top left and right corners or ALT+F8 and use the keyboard. WORKAROUND: create a .gtkrc-2.0__libreoffice file in your home directory, with the following content: style "default-style" { GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0 GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 0 } class "GtkWidget" style "default-style" and then launch libreoffice writer (or another component) with the command: GTK2_RC_FILES=.gtkrc-2.0__libreoffice libreoffice -writer WORKAROUND: Make sure the black arrow pointing down and right shows up, then resize is successful. + Not reproducible in Xubuntu 11.10 32-bit. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/749986/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
