Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 72671
opened spreadsheed covers the whole screen
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:29:36 UTC
When I open a spreadsheed document (by dragging or by using the Open dialogue), it systematically covers the whole screen below the menu line including the dock. I need to click the green button to reduce the size before I can adjust the page as I like. The size of the document window doesn't seem to be stored when saving it. This issue did not appear in former versions of OOo; I remark it since 2.0.4, and also in 2.1.
rolandp, any chance you could provide illustrating screenshots?

Me too ;-) how to debug this?
I hope that, as Shaun suggested, this issue can be taken into account within the refresh issues for the Mac Aqua port. It's not a vital issue, but quite annoying.
One for the Mac porting team. Under tools-options-load/save-general load User specific settings with document is set ? The first start of Calc will open the new sheet in full screen mode. So if it is just after the start, it's normal. Frank
- answer to fst: yes, user specific settings are set in Load/Save - on first start, Calc window should leave the dock area free - on first start, Calc window should keep sizing corner within the screen - on subsequent openings of existing Calc sheet, window size should be as saved by user (now Calc _always_ opens in oversized mode, i.e. bigger than full screen, with status bar below the screen) All this verified in v 2.2 RC 2 (Intel, Dutch), and already reported for 2.0.4 and 2.1

@rolandp: Can you provide the .ods file? I will need this for QA purposes only for 2.2rc3. James McKenzie
Problem seems solved in 2.2 rc3. Existing spreadsheet file now opens in window size it had in previous session (although change in window size is not explicitly saved - after changing the window size, the 'save' icon remains grey). New spreadsheet also opens in this 'last saved window size'. As far as I'm concerned, this issue can be closed! +1

I still have the problem with the current (2.2) release for Macintosh (Intel). I just discovered that creating a new drawing has the same effect! Is this an X11 issue?
ericb->rolandp Issue confirmed. Just finished ( 5 minutes ago) the Panther build of m207 - and found a workaround to the issue with launch - and I have made several tests, giving the following results : 1) Issue fully repeatable in the following cases : - m207 aka 2.3pre (built on PowerPC) tested on Intel ( 10.4.8 ) / X11 1.1.3 - m207 aka 2.3pre (built on Intel) and tested on Intel ( 10.4.8 ) / X11 1.1.3 - m207 aka 2.3pre (built on PowerPC ) and tested on PowerPC ( 10.4.9 ) / X11 1.1.3 - OOF680_m14 (aka 2.2 ) built on Intel, tested on Intel ( 10.4.8 ) / X11 1.1.3 The only case it works, is when using X11 in fullscreen mode. We can't ask normal people to use this mode though .. 2) No issue - I cannot reproduce that issue using OOF680_m14 nor SRC680_m207 tested on PowerPC Panther using X11 1.0 I'll try to reinstall old X11 1.1.1 or 1.1.0 but I'm pretty sure this is an X11 issue Please enter an issue on radar (same as IZ but using Apple bug report ), and I'll try to contact Apple people about that issue. that the only thing I can do here for now :-/ -- ericb
I warned Apple Bug reporter about this issue. It is #5116894. --- rolandp
ericb->rolandp Thanks you very much. I'll try to log me and confirm I have the same issue DISCLAIMER : what follows is a hack, you can use it at your own risks. It is possible to downgrade X11 : 1) go into /System/Library/Receipts 2) rename X11User.pkg in e.g. X11User.pkg.back 3) install the X11 I provide here : a) If you have an INTEL machine (Tiger ) : http://ftp.cusoo.org/MacOSX/Utilities/Intel/X11User.pkg.zip b) If you have a PowerPC ( Tiger ) : http://ftp.cusoo.org/MacOSX/Utilities/PowerPC/X11User.pkg.zip => just reinstall this version of X11 solves the issue, and this is definitively an X11 bug.
rolandp>ericb Thanks for this hack. I installed it on my iMac Intel. It works and I hopethat there are no problems somewhere else. Un train peut en cacher un autre ;-) Joyeuses Pâques
Looks like this is Apple side, and I no longer want to play with closed Apple bug report: only the reporter can read the content and access to the information. I propose to close this issue as wontfix. Opinions ?
Is this still an issue with Leopard's X11? If so, please come help us fix it at http://xquartz.macosforge.org
This issue is solved in OOo 2.4. I tried with MacOS 10.4.11 on a Powerbook G4, and also with MacOS 10.5.3 on a iMac Intel (using X11 3 beta), in both cases starting from X11 manually.
