[Bug 749986] Re: Resizing LO window from bottom right brings up pop-up and undesirable effects

 

A bug report should never start with the statement "what is expected to
happen" (tm) I find the description of this bug report less useful and
more of a distraction. This bug report is easy to reproduce and could be
written in a *much* shorter and *reasonable* form.

Copying the results from 'apt-cache policy' is not helping to the
description of this bug report. Ubuntu 11.10 is the name of the release
Oneiric was the code name, libreoffice version number could also be
written in a much simpler way since its *just a one line version
number*. writing the version number of libreoffice-calc is another
distractive part.


===========
1)
Oneiric:
Ubuntu 11.10

Natty:
lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
Release:	11.04

2)
Oneiric:
libreoffice 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2

Natty:
apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc
libreoffice-calc:
  Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
  Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages
       100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
===========

The above text could simple be written as

Ubuntu: 11.04, 11.10
Libreoffice: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2, 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5

===========

When I edited the decription of the bug report I added the steps to
reproduce at the very top and not "what is expected to happen..." You
might want to have a peek at a lot of the already reported and
effectively triaged bug reports.

Also our official response to //not well described// reports stresses
first on the steps to reproduce the problem:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Not_described_well

I would be happy to discuss is further.

  3) What is expected to happen is one may resize a LibreOffice window
  from the bottom right by putting the mouse icon to the bottom right of
  the window, click and hold, and move the window size as desired.

  4) What happens instead is if the white arrow pointing down and to the
  right, clicking will bring up the File Menu, as well undesirable affects
  (ex. the whole sheet is highlighted but clicking inside does not
  unhighlight, can no longer resize). Other corners and sides works fine
  for resizing the window. A screenshot of this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/749986/+attachment/2078779/+files/Libreoffice_resize-grip.png

  WORKAROUND: Resize using the top left and right corners or ALT+F8 and
  use the keyboard.

  WORKAROUND: create a .gtkrc-2.0__libreoffice file in your home
  directory, with the following content:

  style "default-style"
  {
    GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0
    GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 0
  }

  class "GtkWidget" style "default-style"

  and then launch libreoffice writer (or another component) with the command:
  GTK2_RC_FILES=.gtkrc-2.0__libreoffice libreoffice -writer

  WORKAROUND: Make sure the black arrow pointing down and right shows up,
  then resize is successful.

  + Not reproducible in Xubuntu 11.10 32-bit.
