Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11926
OOo programs and dialogs offset within a window frame in 644_m4
Last modified: 2003-05-20 10:46:28 UTC
Many of the dialog boxes and OOo program display offset within the the frame of a window in atleast the IceWM window manager.To visually get an ideas of what is happening, think of the OOo part (or dialog) of the moving about 1/2 inch up and slightly left without moving the window border. Like when you manually change your monitor setting to move the picture up and left. The top 1/2 inch in the OOo programs that includes the "File" and "Edit" items are not visable and the bottom 1/2 inch is black. This happens only in *644_m4* and did not happen in *644_m1*. This began from installation with install dialog boxes offset and continues with each OOo program that I open (scalc, swriter etc). The offset window can be "corrected" by attempting to resize that afflected window. Then the programs snaps into the window frames. Environment: GNU/Linux RH7.3 distibution w/all errata and the IceWM window manager

Is this problem in the correct area? Just wondering if anyone has looked at this issue PS Thank you for all of your time and effort in a collective way. I am very happy to be using such a good product.
sounds like an gsl issue - cc'ing PL - Phillip, do you by chance have an idea?
No; and i wouldn't even have one if you spelled my name correctly :-) But i will have a look at the problem; since it does not occur on other WM's it probably is in my area.
Just to re-state, 644_m1 did NOT have this issue and no upgrades to the WM has happened.
Between m1 and m5 OOo changed to be more conformant with ICCCM. Unfortunately IceWM cannot cope with the StaticGravity hint that gets applied to OOo's windows nowadays; the window belonging to OOo actually gets positioned beneath the decoration by IceWM. I built in a workaround for the problem into CWS vcl07.
I will also look into updating my IceWM to the most recent version. I will report my findings.

The most recent version of IceWM (version 1.2.7) with OOo1.1beta (644 build:8557) on GNU/Linux shows the same issue. I don't know if the work-around is in place in the 1.1b version or not. Could someone advise ?
I'm using Gnome 2.0 on a Mandrake Linux 9.0 machine, and the same problem occurs for the main window of any new document. The window is always displaced to the right and up out of the desktop space, which means that I have to maximize it each time before I can access the menus. Is this a known problem that has been fixed in the latest beta ?
The workaround will be in beta2, it is not in the "latest" beta
