Description: Executive Summary: I really like using embedded OLE objects but they tend to be buggy and I frequently need to restart LibreOffice to edit them, but the only way for me to do the things I want to do... Here's a specific example: I have a sheet, with an OLE writer document anchored to a cell. I put some fancy stuff in the child document and then exit back to the sheet. Then I go back into the child document and there is a large gray border around the left and bottom side of the pop-up window and the scroll bars are not in the right spot. If I make any changes inside the child document at this time, when I exit the pop-up the results will be translated and cut off. Most of the time, If I resize the popup window one pixel, it will fix the pop-up and the edit will work as expected. If I ever fail to resize the window before closing it, I will need to restart LO before it will work correctly again. screenshot & example file attached.

I cannot reproduce with Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: e845507bc22a166ec172a4b4d9da120a16f8a964 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; Version 5.1 is old, could you test it with newer version? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ Thank you
Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists with version 5.4. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
It's _better_ in 5.4.1.2, the pop-up box still has the wrong size, there is a large gray border where I assume scroll bars should be and the bottom and right sides are cut off. But now the content of the OLE object is no longer corrupted when editing while the pop up is in a bad state, so that's a good sign of progress. :)
Dereck: I found an older report for this same problem. Thank you for your report in any case. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 88809 ***
Argh, it seems I was too hasty. It is not related. I can confirm that there is a "large gray border where scroll bars should be" with attachment 136047 [details] but otherwise I don't see the wrong size and cut offs. Sure, the bottom is cut off by the gray bar, but that is all..
