Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14949
unable to close floating toolbars
Last modified: 2003-09-17 23:27:16 UTC
Long-clicking on (e.g.) the "Insert Object" button opens the corresponding floating toolbar window. This window cannot be closed (under Gnome/Debian-Linux).
cannot reproduce. These windows should be handled by your window-manager and thus should be closed like any other window (usually an Icon in the title-bar or a keyboard-shortcut). If the problem persists please give more information about your setup (which windowmanager, what theme,...) (comment as well when the problem is solved!)
I am using debian/gnome/sawfish, and the problem disappears when using metacity. The toolbar is positioned in the middle of the screen, without a close button. OOo1.0 did not cause this problem.
YOu can configure sawfish to draw only borders or only the title bar for windows belonging to a certain group/class/name. Use sawfish-ui to create a new rule for OpenOffice.org Windows: run sawfish-ui select "matched windows" hit "add" and choose matcher: "Class", choose grab and select the OpenOffice.org main window. A string similar to this one should be entered in the textbox: "^OpenOffice\.org 1\.1/VCLSalFrame$" (without the quotes) under actions choose view -> Frame type "title only" or similar you can of course use a more detailed approach (no need to set it globally for OOo). You can as well use gnome-control-center to make these settings.. Problem with window manager (->external thing) -> invalid) No Problem with metacity icewm windowmaker enlightenment
