actually you can completely solve this "bug" configuring the "window decoration" plugin with exceptions. in the "advanced desktop effect settings" open the "window decoration" plugin config and edit the "decoration windows" field editing it from "any" to "(any) & !(type=Dialog).
if done correctly you will be able to use the openoffice wizards with the visual effects on. to enable access to the advanced desktop effect settings you have to install the CCSM package (compizconfig-settings-manager). after you install you will find it in system > preferences. screenshot of the config page attached. ** Attachment added: "Configuration screenshot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18244651/Screenshot-CompizConfig%20Settings%20Manager.png -- [upstream] [hardy] openoffice compiz bug - Wizards' first dialogs far too small (unusable) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
