Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 4484
Resizable dialogs
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:37:06 UTC
I noted this while testing Calc and having a look at the Define Names dialog that it is not resizable. This can become a PITN when there are very long range names or range values defined (you have to click on the range field and scroll to the end). If the dialog was resizable, this wouldn't be much a problem. I'm posting the issue here because I think all dialogs should be made resizable (at least when they can potentially hold "too much" data).
Reassigned to Christian.
Reassiged to Bettina.
This issue should get high priority. A milestone 2.0.x would be cool :-). Filing umpteen of reports for each dialog which is not resizable is simply annoying. All UI components which keep the user in leading-strings instead of assisting him should be considered broken. E.g. see: issue 26036 issue 29476 issue 35507 issue 38392 issue 42195 issue 46460 The dialog for defining/inserting cross references and fields is another candidate. It is just unusable, if the field and property names get longer than a certain amount of characters.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
