I open the "styles formatting" window for the document, but I can't actually see the document because the styles and formatting window is maximized over top of the document it is associated with. > > Maybe I am not understanding you correctly. Hopefully it's clearer now. Thanks, Tyler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

OpenOffice and Fluxbox, window sizing problem
Hi, I'm trying to use openoffice on Debian testing, with Fluxbox as my window manager. I use the styles and formatting dropdown, and the undocked window it provides when you click on the "more" option quite a lot. However, no matter how many times I manually resize the undocked window, or set my preferences for this window to be relatively small and placed off to one side of the screen, it is constantly resized to maximize, obscuring everything on the screen. This happens whenever I use alt-tab to bounce between windows. Typical example: Open oowriter Click on the apply-styles drop-down in the menubar Click on the "more" style option The entire screen is taken up by the "Styles and Formatting" window Resize the "Styles and Formatting" window with the mouse or keyboard shortcuts Open a second document alt-tab between the two documents the "Styles and Formatting" window is now maximized again! I don't know if this is a fluxbox issue, or an OOO issue, but I've tried setting appropriate options in .fluxbox/apps, and I can't override this very annoying behaviour. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tyler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
