Bug ID: 163749
Summary: Editing Preferences before saving opens in a windows
with a size too big for the screen [Writer]
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I use the option to edit the preferences before saving a new document. After
the Update to 24.2.6.2 (LO 7) Writer opens a window that is too big for the
screen. (see screenshots). It is the same window you get with menu "File" >
"Preferences …". The OK-button is out of view, but responde to a simple Hit of
the "Enter"-key.
There seems no way to shrink the window size. With the Mouse-Cursor, I can only
make the window bigger, but not smaller.
The description tab had now (since LibreOffice 7.6) a lot more categories. So
the windows is taller than the screen. When I click through the tabs, there
seems no obvious reason that the window is that wide (meant from left to
right).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose "File" > "Preferences …"
Actual Results:
the window opened is a lot bigger (than in LO-7.6) and is not shrinkable
Expected Results:
Expected behavior: The window should open in a smaller size and show scrollbars
instead of filling the screen over the edge. The window should be changeable
and should flip to scrollbars.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I work on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, LibreOffice 24.2.6.2 420(Build:2) and with a
limitted screensize of a Thinkpad X230 (1366x768, ratio 16:9).
I don't know if only Linux/Ubuntu is affected, so I choose "Linux (All)" as
affected Platform. It could be a thing with the UI or the window-manager.
