display problems on unstable
Hello list.
I maintain a Linux box for a friend of mine who uses it to run her home office.
She uses OO for all of her wordprocessing needs.
Recently, I installed OO from the 1.0.0-3 deb package. When I start the app, I
end up with a window that shows part of another window inside it with a
separator bar halfway. One half shows a tall button with a down arrow on the
right side. This window cannot be rescaled.
When I enlarge the outer window, I get to see part of the menu bar items [File,
Edit, View, &c.] and the status bar. All these have greatly exaggerated height.
If I click anywhere, all I get is beeps.
This would suggest that what I see is a modal window of some kind. However,
pressing <enter> or <esc> doesn't have any effect.
The only recourse I have is to kill OO. It then displays a smaller window saying
things about my files being recoverable [or something to that effect]. Again,
this window has exaggerated height. When I rescale it, I find a tall OK button
at the bottom.
I run the same setup on my own machine and have no problems whatsoever, the only
difference between the two [as far as I can see] being the hardware.
If you need any more information, let me know.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
