Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 73496
Incorrect width of custom toolbars containing complex controls
Last modified: 2013-07-30 02:24:44 UTC
When experimenting with custom toolbars I noticed several glitches with displaying complex toolbar controls which have a variable width (such as drop-down buttons). Sometimes these controls are not displayed, and the user has to manually resize the toolbar (or change its layout to vertical) to ensure that they are still there. The problem seems to be specific only for some graphical front-ends which can be used by OOo: it occurs only under Unix/X11, and only if OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP set to "kde" or "none" (i. e. it seems to be not characteristic for the GTK+ toolkit). It also appears only under certain conditions: I noticed that toolbars usually look as expected in document windows created during the OOo startup (e. g. if the application was started as $ soffice -writer ), but not for in opened by user. The complex toolbar demo add-on available in the OOo SDK can be used to demonstrate this problem. The attached screenshot shows an example of the incorrect toolbar layout: from 4 toolbar controls provided by the demo add-on only the first one is initially visible.
