Priority: medium
Bug ID: 80319
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Truncated text in Start Center and minimum size
lock-in
Severity: minor
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: kl...@yopmail.com
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
This is a follow-up to Bug 73605 and may affect all localizations.
This code does not generally work and has a side-effect (though other code
might cause this, too):

There are common situations, where the user can circumvent the minimal window
width to sufficiently display the text in the Start Center.
Possibility #1:
step 1: Make sure to have at least one recent document
step 2: Resize the window to minimal width
step 3: Delete it/them or clear the list
Now the second line will likely be truncated.
Possibility #2:
step 1: Open a LibreOffice program not from Start Center
step 2: Resize to sufficiently small width and height
step 3: Retreat to Start Center with Ctrl+W or File -> Close
No minimal size applied.
Now to the lock-in. Any time the Start Center has been opened, a minimal size
is carried over to all LibreOffice programs in the current session. As far as I
can tell, there are three of these sizes.
Size #1 (the smallest):
step 1: Boot soffice.exe with at least one recent document
step 2: Resize height to the minimum
This should swallow a chunk of Base Database.
Size #2:
step 1: Make sure to have at least one recent document and open one
step 2: Retreat to Start Center with Ctrl+W or File -> Close
step 3: Click once on one the of the four window borders to resize
Size #3: Like size #2 but with a cleared list. This is the biggest.
Suggestion:
A. The Start Center should start with the necessary width and height to supply
all contents (including one recent document with scroll-bar or welcome text).
B. The welcome text should adapt.
C. The set minimum size should not be carried over to the other programs,
'cause someone might want to work in a very small window in some cases.
D. A minimum size should also not be applied to one of the programs, when
resizing after the program was started from the Start Center.
I might have overlooked a case and missed a detail.
This applies to 4.3 RC 1 and XP. Please try it on the other OS.
