Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94453
Textbox in Installation wizard too short
Last modified: 2009-01-27 11:20:28 UTC
In Vietnamese OOo 3.0.0 RC3( and RC1, RC2 as well), a text in the installation wizard is too short and therefore it is trimmed. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/2900003947_bebc9e725f_o.jpg Should we fix it before 3.1.0?
I've found that the length of text that has been trimmed is defined in Control.idt It is sufficient enough to increase to text width( 21 as of now ). I recommend 77.

This is of course easy to fix, so we should do it for OOo 3.1. We can change the database or try to shorten the Vietnamese string. But please do not change the value 21 to 77. This is the wrong value. It describes the x-position of the upper left corner. So changing from 21 to 77 shifts the checkbox to the right. The value, that can be changed is the width, which is currently set to 200. Its maximum value can be 330. I would not like to change the Height, which is 10. And that means, that only one line is allowed. In the case of an update, there is a further checkbox below this checkbox. So please tell me first, if it is sufficient for your string, to change the width from 200 to 330.
Looking at the screenshot http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/2900003947_bebc9e725f_o.jpg I think that 300 ( which is 1.5 times of 200 ) is long enough to display that text. Thanks.
Yes, 300 should be more than enough. Setting target 3.1.
Thanks and see you in 3.1
Fixed in cws native214 for OOo 3.1
Verified in cws native214. Width for this string is now 300.
IS: Integrated into dev300 m40 -> closing issue.
