Custom dialog with simple values already hidden by UI

Especially when entering custom properties, the dialog box to enter/read them is very small to the point of inhibiting their use (unless that was the point, of course) as data is almost immediately hidden by the UI.

Resizing it is undone on next use (resizing redraw bug already filed separately).  It would /substantially/ enhance the usefulness of this dialog if it was either larger, or (preferred) and size change was to be made persistent between sessions.

Yeah, this is a pet peeve of many users. There’s a more general request at bug 74439, so I’m marking this as a dupe… Thanks for filing, and helping make LibreOffice better!

Au contraire, I must thank you for the hard work.  Much appreciated.
