Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 52319
size of database forms changes when there are docked windows
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:45:41 UTC
- open the attached database document - open the form therein for editing - open the "Form Navigator" from the "Form Design" toolbar - dock the form navigator at the right hand side of the form window (by dragging it to there, or by double-clicking onto some gray space of the navigator window) - (maybe ensure that the docked size is appropriate - the default width might be 0) - enlarge the width of the form window so that you again can see all controls - close the form window, answer the question whether to save the changes with "Yes" - re-open the form window => the window is smaller than before, the width of the docked navigator got subtracted somehow Ugly consequences from this: - If people really work with a docked form navigator, they need to constantly adjust the size of their form window - It happens with all docked windows, for instance the stylist and the normal navigator. Here it is less severe, since those windows usually remember whether they were open or not

The "Form Navigator" can not longer be docked.
Closing it.
That's not true, the form navigator can still be docked. See the very original bug description at the top: "by dragging it to there, or by double-clicking onto some gray space of the navigator window". Both methods still work to dock the navigator.
