Description lddubeau 2008-01-05 21:27:32 UTC
Dialogs that are created in the IDE are displayed with incorrect width.  The
problem is intermittent.  I have not been able to find a sure way to reproduce
it all the time but it happens to me quite often so it is not a rare occurrence.
 (I just don't know why sometimes the dialogs appear with the correct dimensions
and why sometimes they don't.)  This problem happens in two different set of
circumstances:

1. It happens when dialogs are being displayed by OOBasic code.  That is, when
the dialogs are displayed to be used by a normal user.

2. It happens also in the IDE.  If a dialog is opened in the IDE to be edited,
the dialog will appear with its correct dimensions for a fraction of a second
and then its dimensions will be reset without rhyme or reason by the IDE.  Only
the width seems to be affected.

This happens with my own dialogs and with dialogs that have been created by
other people.  I've also tried it with dialogs bungled in OO and found the same
problem there.  So it is not a problem due to the way I create my dialogs.

I've attached a clip of the actions I perform to reproduce the problem.  Note
that the same set of actions I perform in the clip does not *always* result in
the bug showing up.  I once had to repeat it 3 times before I got the bug to occur.

Use slow motion towards the end of the clip to see the dialog box appearing
first with the correct size and then being resized by the IDE.

The problem described disappears if I turn off compiz.  Note however that none
of the other software I use has any problem with window sizes no matter whether
compiz runs or not.  Would it be possible that OO is incorrectly querying some
information from the window manager?

Andreas, please have a look ...
Comment 5 lddubeau 2008-03-07 16:05:32 UTC
I've filed a bug report in Launchpad:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/194204

Which developers have decided is a duplicate of this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/149586

The important thing is they decided that it was a compiz bug so talking to the
compiz people might be a good idea before investigating too much.  But I've seen
no confirmation on the compiz side that this bug is indeed due to a fault in compiz.

Needs evaluation, STARTED, OOo 3.x for now
Comment 7 rvojta 2008-07-14 10:58:47 UTC
I have to confirm this issue. Same problems here on my openSuSE & desktop
effects (compiz) enabled. All symptoms from the first comment are valid on my
computer too.

Target milestone is set to OO.o 3.x, so, are there any news? I just tested this
issue with BEB300_m3 and all problems are still there.
