Open File dialog is too large

users
#1

I am running Fedora Linux (64-bit).
I use LO 4.4.1.2 (official release).
I have two monitors
I use LO dialogs for open / close.

When I choose file open, the dialog is about 1.5 screens wide and it will NOT allow me to resize the dialog to make it narrower. Anyone else see this? I saw it when I upgraded from the previous version of LO.

I cleared my profile (I renamed ~/.config/libreoffice/4 to something else) and that fixed the issue.

Off hand, it looks like it is an issue in user/registrymodifications.xcu (if anyone cares).

Not sure what setting in that file caused the problem, but, if you ever see that problem, now you know what file is probably causing the issue.

Hi Andrew,

When I choose file open, the dialog is about 1.5 screens wide and it
will NOT allow me to resize the dialog to make it narrower. Anyone else
see this? I saw it when I upgraded from the previous version of LO.

Yes. I filed an issue for it some time ago
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83373

The widening is triggered by having a string in the file name box that
is longer than the box. With the next use of the dialog, the width has
been 'adjusted'.
(I often use Ctrl+L, Ctrl+C, ESC in Thunar and then Ctrl+O, Vtrl+V,
Enter to open a file. And this copies the full name.)

I cleared my profile (I renamed ~/.config/libreoffice/4 to something
else) and that fixed the issue.

This is not one of my top popular actions, looking all that I have done
on configuration :wink:

Cheers,
Cor
