Hi Ulrich, thanks for your report. I guess it's the same as bug 66105 that should be fixed in 4.1.0.2 ... Can you pls report your version of LibreOffice as given via Help > About ? Cheers, Cor Created attachment 84957 [details]
screenshot of malformatted properties dialog
The screenshot shows the sizing error. My dual head display has a total width of 2966 and each screen has a Uity launcher on the left side which is 32 pixels wide. It seems that the dialog is sized to sreenwidth minus two time the launcher width.
I have just installed 4.1.1.2 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64 and the error still persists. Sorry, I've opened bug 71061, really similar to this. Only change OS (WinXP) and version (4.1.2.3). I see that bug 66105 fixex the problem for two fields, but not for the Notes/Remarks field Bug still persists in Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) Updated Version: the bug persists in 4.1.4.2 (over Windows at last) (In reply to comment #8) > Updated Version: the bug persists in 4.1.4.2 (over Windows at last) I can confirm that it also persists on ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS amd64 in LO 4.1.4.2. (This is an automated message.) Setting priority to highest as this is a 4.1 MAB. This is part of an effort to make the importance of MAB reflected in priority too. Updated version: bug persists un LO 4.2.0.4 Windows XP version The Version field is meant to reflect the oldest version a bug first appeared on, and there is no need to update it with every release - it's kind of obvious that a bug has not been fixed if you do not receive a commit (code change) notification. ;-) I change platform to ALL since it has been reported both under Linux and Windows. I can also reproduce it under Win7x64 with 4.2.3.3 and 4.3.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 0b03f7ed575838f90e6b1ebec3538a3a214f81fb TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2014-04-30_02:30:23 I move it to the mab4.2 list since 4.1.x is END OF LIFE ----------------------- I copy here an easy step-by-step guide to reproduce it found in duplicate Bug 71061. Problem description: if you write a LONG description in the File/Properties Comment dialog box, it grows beyond the screen limits, at least in two head configs as mine Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new writter doc, open File/Properties and fill Comments with long text description. 2. Close Dialog with OK 3. Open again, and you should see a really wide dialog (images attached) ----------------------- it seems that the property dialog expands taking the maximal width of the longest line entered by the user in the description I am able to shrink it back to normal size by just simply splitting those lines with the enter key I add C.McNamara to CC-list, since I've seen him fixing similar bugs.
