Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94931
OOo does not redraw an empty Floating Frame after minimizing window
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:47:34 UTC
Environment: OOo 3.0, English version, Windows XP Sp3, Japanese version. How to produce: 1. Start OOo 3.0 writer, open any document. 2. From menu -> Insert -> Floating Frame 3. Insert any text in the dialog that pops up. 4. Now Atl-tab to switch to another windows ( or maximize, minimize, scroll up and down the current document). Result: Floating Frame holder is not redrawn. Screen shot: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3053/2940190975_451e5f0b68_o.jpg I can reproduce this but with probability = 100%.
If have to choose OK at the end of step 3. But the result is as you describe, also with OOo 3.0 Dutch on XP
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 also seen on Linux OOo 3.0.1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345855
Note that on Linux if you a compositing window manager (eg metacity with compositing enabled or compiz) you may not see this issue. If you disable compositing the issue will show up.
I was also able to reproduce the issue in Spreadsheet, so I changed the component to "Framework". It only happens when a Floating Frame does not have a any content like in the description above. When applying e.g. a .txt file as content, redrawing works fine. So this isuue does not have a dramatical impact. MRU->MAV: insert a floating frame without content into a document, minimize and maximize the OOo window -> see the frame area not being repainted correctly.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
