Description Thomas Lendo 2017-06-15 23:22:26 UTC 
Created attachment 134052 [details]
German Start Center screen with small window width (Ubuntu)

The Start Center welcome text "Drop a document here or pick an app from the left side to create one." doesn't respect the window width. If the window is smaller than the text width, then the text will be truncated on the left and on the right.

This is especially a problem for languages with longer texts than English, e.g. German.

Expected result:
The text should be automatically wrapped to a new line when the window shrinks.

In bug 73605 this was once already fixed in the 4-series of LibO.
I don't know when the new bug was introduced. Bug also exists in 5.1.6.2.

Comment 2 Heiko Tietze 2018-04-15 10:05:27 UTC 
Patch in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/52906/ adds wordbreak depending on window size to the second line. The first line "Welcome to LibreOffice" will not break.
