Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13346
Tear-off menus open w/o a close button
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:52:24 UTC
I found this issue in the draw app, but it is the same for any tear-off menu (along the left side) with only a few items-- the menus pop up and are auto-sized. If there are only a few items in the toolbar, it won't be wide enough to have a close window button so you get a toolbar you cannot close. The one that I specifically encountered was the 'TEXT' tear-off in the draw app.
Would it be possible to attach a screenshot of that behaviour? Thanks in advance.

I was not able to reproduce this. But I think that might differ depending on the window-manager that is in use. I reassign this to Philipp. Please have a look if there is something that could be done about this. Thanks.
that's a window manager issue, please file a bug to your WM developer. As a workaround most WMs have a context menu if you right click onto the title bar that should have a "close" option. Alternatively many WMs have a taskbar which has a similar context menu
closing
I tried right-clicking the menu bar, no context menu. There was _no way_ to close the window. The window manager is KDE 3.1 and I have not experienced this problem in _any other context_ but this one particular program.
I use KDE3.1 for everyday work and could reproduce the problem with KDE2 and Quartz theme, in both cases i had a context menu on the title bar of the toolbox using which i could close the window. Since this happens with certain KDE themes only i think you will agree that this is KDE's problem not OOo's.
