It is exactly that. Whenever I work with Writer, I (often) change the zoom factor from 100% to window width (Fensterbreite). Forms opened in a Base application then show the described behaviour (but not allways...). Moreover, when I open more than one Writer document, it seems to be enough to change the zoom factor of one Writer document to get this behaviour with Base. I can change the zoom factor with Ctrl+<scroll_wheel> as you said. However: Window size and position are also changed. Usually the window displaying the enlarged form is so big, that I see neither its window bar nor its menu bar nor its toolbar. They are moved off the screen. Only the lower and the right window boundary are visible on the screen. Zooming the form does not change window size and position. So after having changed the zoom factor I have to make the window smaller and after that I have to move it.... This is so annoying that I now change the zoom factor of all Writer documents to 100% before opening a Base document.... Since this bug seems to be known: will it be fixed with 3.1? -Karl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
