Description James Warmuth 2020-11-30 19:11:02 UTC

Description:
I use Calc with large validation fields and set them up as drop downs so the user can select an option from a list.  In Version 6 the drop down fields would display much larger making it easier for the user to pick the correct option however in version 7 these fields display much shorter and cut the text off so it is harder for the user to see what they are choosing.  Please see this image for v7 https://ibb.co/7kWhJnH and this image for version 6 https://ibb.co/WtqL3S6.  I will attach photos here too.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a cell with a long drop down validation
2.Attempt to use the long validation field
3.

Actual Results:
The validation fields shows but is at a fixed short length instead of the longer one on version 6

Expected Results:
Same action as version 6 display using the maximum space possible


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Hello James,

if I go to the selection, I will see the full description. Look on the pictures in attachment "Data validation full text".

I don't think that this is a bug. You can create an enhancement, if you want (when you wish longer field, when the cell is bigger).
