Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openoffice.org
This has been reported upstream: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=85009 I'm reporting here too so that Ubuntu users who encounter this bug don't have to waste time like I did. I'm going to add the Ubuntu-specific information here and copy some of the information from upstream so that someone doing a search in the bugs in Launchpad can get a hit on this bug report.

The problem is intermittent. I have not been able to find a sure way to reproduce it all the time but it happens to me quite often so it is not a rare occurrence. (I just don't know why sometimes the dialogs appear with the correct dimensions and why sometimes they don't.) This problem happens in two different set of circumstances: 1. It happens when dialogs are being displayed by OOBasic code. That is, when the dialogs are displayed to be used by a normal user. 2. It happens also in the IDE. If a dialog is opened in the IDE to be edited, the dialog will appear with its correct dimensions for a fraction of a second and then its dimensions will be reset without rhyme or reason by the IDE. Only the width seems to be affected. This happens with my own dialogs and with dialogs that have been created by other people. I've also tried it with dialogs bundled in OO and found the same problem there. So it is not a problem due to the way I create my dialogs. ==== In the upstream bug report, I've attached a video grab of my desktop that shows the problem. After filling my initial bug report, I found that the problem disappears if compiz is turned off. This bug may therefore be related to bug #185600. I do not know whether the problem is with OO or compiz but I find it strange that only OO behaves this way. ** Affects: openoffice Importance: Unknown Status: Confirmed ** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: OpenOffice.org Issue Tracker #85009 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=85009 ** Also affects: openoffice via http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=85009 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- dialogs created in OO displayed with incorrect width https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194204 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
