Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94377
Disproportioned UI elements with portrait screen
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:52:16 UTC
Filing a report sent by email to me: I am using OpenOffice 3.0.0 for Mac OS X (Intel) version OOO300m7 (Build: 9354) which I downloaded and installed today. The beta version before had the same problem btw. Im am using Mac OS X (Intel) 10.4.11 (german) on a Mac mini wth 1 GB RAM. My special installation uses a "portrait" monitor connected via DVI - BUT - not the usual "landscape" orientation. One can change the monitor's orientation in the normal system preferences inside OS X (I have 90 degrees now) The monitor is from LG, type is L226W. The second enclosed screenshot shows the monitor's preferences. The problem is: All OpenOffice applications seen to show rather unusual disproportional buttons in dialog fields, but they seem to work. Calc seems to behave rather well (although many parts of the application's user interface are too big), but the Writer application behaves as shown in the first screenshot. I took a screenshot of the whole huge screen, so you will see the ratio is not OK. Same thing when you start a new empty file: The paper area is much too narrow, the kerning too is much too narrow. At the same time the selector boxes for font size and fonts appear also disproportioned. You will see (Bild 1.png) I hope you'll be able to spot the bug quickly for it is rather obvious. Apparently the programmers didnt think of screens being tilted 90 degrees :) - all other apps I have behave fine so far! If you are not the right person to talk to, I apologize for stealing your time - could you please forward my mail give me a pointer where to look at? Thank you very much in advance! -- Best regards Andreas Delleske Lise-Meitner-Strasse 12 | D-79100 Freiburg | http://www.dellekom.de Vox: +49 761 4599761 | Fax: +49 761 45683337 | Mail: post@dellekom.de USt-ID: DE194004109

confirm, we still have problems using devices with different (dpi) resolutions BTW: "macport" is not a real person, it is a meta account for currently unassigned issues.
