Bug ID: 140360
Summary: Provide option to turn off sidebar's minimum width
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Currently the sidebar has an excessive minimum width in certain conditions, so
it takes up an annoyingly large chunk of the screen. As I understand it, this
is due to an incorrect width calculation for the sidebar with UI scaling
applied. The bug which brought up this issue (131947) was recently closed as a
'won't fix' since the relevant Writer devs want to stick with the current
execution of sidebar minimum width. Even if this policy changes, I don't
anticipate a fix being forthcoming.
The feature request: Temporarily add an option (off by default and perhaps
featuring a warning) to turn off the minimum width restriction for the sidebar.
This is so that users like me can rely on it as a mitigation for the issue of
the sidebar's excessive minimum width.
Per Heiko Tietze from Bug 131947: "I like the idea of an expert option. Would
you mind to file a new ticket, ideally with reference to this one? \ c16 and
c22 make it clear why we have a minimum width, thus resolution here is WF."
Steps to Reproduce:
N/A (the sidebar's minimum width is in place by default and no option exists to
disable it)
Actual Results:
N/A
Expected Results:
N/A
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
