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

 

This bug is still persistant in 12.04. Not only does the menu pop up
when I try to resize in the lower corner, the light orange overlay to
show window resizing appears fragmented on the window, and will not go
away, making the entire session of the program unusable.

Also, I do not know what the issue is with the specific semantics to
reporting the bug, but I surely hope that this bug is not still kept
alive because of something as silly as a poorly written bug report.

If that is the case, I will gladly make a second report for this bug,
reported to whomever's liking, that way this darn bug can get fixed!!

  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.
