Description Peter Mandrella 2022-04-25 13:26:12 UTC

Description:
When opening the drop-down list for font size selection e.g. in Calc or Write, it often shows only lager font sizes, so that selecting a smaller font size needs additional input.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Format some Calc cell with a 10 pt font (which may be the default).
2. Try to change the font size to 8 pt via drop-down list in the symbol bar.

Actual Results:
The font size selctor shows only the equal and larger font sizes. For decreasing instead of increasing the font size, you additionaly must either

- move the left finger onto the mouse whell
- scroll up
- move the left finger back 

or

- point and click onto the scroll bar
- scroll up
- move the mouse pointer back to the left.


Expected Results:
Always show some larger *and* some smaller font sizes (if available) when opening the drop-down list.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I am aware of the Ctrl + [ and Ctrl + ] shortcuts for changing the font size. Sometimes this helps, but often it interrupts a mouse workflow - move two hands to the appropriate keys, than at least the mouse hand back where it was.

This may be considered a neglectable cosmetic issue, but ... if you have to de- and increase the font size of dozends of Calc cells day by day, like me, it gets really annoying. Should be easy to fix.

1. Open Writer
2. Set font size to 10.5
3. click on the drop down again (should be 4 entry's with smaller font 7, 8, 9 and 10 visible)

Confirm (no entry's)

weld SvxFontSizeBox_Impl
which enables making a native gtk widget a member of a toolbar

This widget wants to distinguish between a value getting selected
by the menu or not, which is fairly tricky
