red 100px areas in both function lists

In 5.4, the customization dialog was 605x671, while the new version in 6.0 is 874x673, a width increase of 269px, when it could easily be reduced by 200+ pixels by reducing the minimum widths of the 2 function lists, which will reduce the large amount of white space in the dialog.

Talked to Muhammet and the thing is that the dialog width is being calculated from the text in the list. Obviously not the best approach and he will turn this into a normal Glade accessible ui property.
Comment 3 Muhammet Kara 2018-10-08 14:04:28 UTC
It can be reduced to 800px easily. Would that be enough?
Comment 4 Muhammet Kara 2018-10-08 14:06:30 UTC
Forgot to mention how. Sorry for the noise.

Here is the relevant line: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/cui/source/customize/cfg.cxx#1152

One can achieve 800px width just by reducing the first number.
Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2018-10-08 15:07:33 UTC
These few pixels are not visible unless you compare directly. And actually I disagree with the need to cut off all whitespace. The dialog is well designed and provides room for the various string length. Since no body agreed with Jay I close the ticket as WF.
