Screenshot with gen VCL plugin

The layout of the dialog in Windows and in Linux with gen VCL plugin is the same.

In addition note that in Windows (gen), the "List style" dropdown is too short, of "Chapter Numbering", only "Chapter Number" is shown. This can be checked by opening the dialog for a paragraph style as described in bug 145804.

Observed using LO Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1+ fcad2503ede92b515076f9bb3162855dcc2c575d) / Ubuntu.

The divergence between GTK3 and Windows/gen layout of the dialog started with the following commit. I'm not sure if this difference is perfectly fine, or something we'd like to avoid, so CC-ing UX advise list for input. Also adding CC: to Andreas Kainz.

Regardless, it'd be great if "Chapter Numbering", or any translation that might be longer in a different language would fit in the field.

Yes, the expanded controls are not nice in this case - and don't work across VCLs.

Comment 3 Aron Budea 2021-11-22 08:32:26 UTC

Are there other similar cases of expanded controls, eg. on the Alignment tab?
