Bug#1000842: Weird resizing of dialog window

[Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au>]

Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:7.2.3-2

Seen in the "Tools > AutoCorrect Options..." dialog box in localc, and in
"Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options..." dialog box in lowriter.


When I use the scrollbar for the boxes in the Replace or Exceptions tabs, the
dialog window grows horizontally (to the right, apparently without limit)
whenever the mouse moves while the left mouse-button is held down.

Clicking Cancel in the dialog box and opening the dialog again from the menu
resets the dialog box to its default width.

Sometimes this doesn't happen, but in that case:

  1. the scroll bar's slider doesn't move along with the mouse (even though
  the contents of the boxes controlled by the scrollbar are moved up and
  down).

  2. it usually doesn't take more than switching between the tabs a few times
  for it to start happening again. Or closing the dialog and opening it again
  a few times.


This may or may not occur in other dialogs in LO programs. I haven't checked
them all.  It doesn't seem to happen in the "Tools > Options..." (Alt-F12)
dialog, the "File > Open...", "File > Save As...", or any of the other dialogs
I looked at.

I don't know if it happened in earlier versions of LO or not.

In case it's relevant, I'm running Xfce 4.16
