Description nattu 2008-05-31 14:31:38 UTC
Description:
--------------
When we save a file for the first time, the ‘Save As’ dialog shows up and allows
the user to specify the file name and choose the file type. That drop down ‘Save
as type’ shows a list but one of the list items (for saving as a .sxd file) is
only partially visible as the field width is insufficient.

Environment details:
----------------------------
My O/S is Windows XP
OO version is: OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 Beta, downloaded from OO website on 28th May

Other areas where this problem was noticed:
-----------------------------------------------
Apart from saving a new file, when I try to save an existing file as another
file using the ‘Save As’ or ‘Save All’ menu option, the same issue is noticed.
It appeared as if the same dialog is being opened by all the three menu choices.

Further, when I try to ‘Open’ a new file, the file type drop down field (called
‘Files of type’) has the same issue of incomplete visibility on many record
items…I noticed at least 15 list items which were not fully readable. 

I will attach the screenshots of the issues noticed for reference.

Some supporting notes:
--------------------------
On the dialog boxes, there appears sufficient real estate to widen the field
length and allow for all the list items to be fully readable. At least if not
all, many will be fully readable if the field width can be widened to the
maximum possible.

I checked with "3.0.0 Beta Multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [300m2
(Build9301)]" and can confirm the reported effect. If "Use WIN dialogues" is
selected in menu 'Tools -> Options -> OOo -> General', the dialogue will open
with minimum size, and that will not be sufficient space for all file type list
lines, so that the information is truncated.

Easy workaround: Increase dialogue size (will hold until OOo will be terminated)
