In Calc, if the file path is to long, when you open the Format -> Page dialog not all the elements are shown.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new ods file and save it in a folder such as:
"/home/suokunlong/this/is/a/veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong/pathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh/to_test_the_page_format_dialog"

2. Go to Format -> Page -> Header (or Footer) to observe the dialog controls.
--> Elements such as character formatting etc are floated to the left invisible area. 

This makes me not able to set the character formatting of the page headers.

This may be caused by the long file path showing in the dropdown list on this dialog.

What is your OS and display specs? What happen if you put is in a even longer path?

Mine is Fedora Gnome.
Comment 5 Aron Budea 2018-05-31 13:50:04 UTC
Still there with the latest commit of 6.1 bibisect build.
Also reproduced with LO 5.2.0.4, can't test in earlier versions, as it doesn't occur with 'gen' VCL plugin, and older LO versions don't start with 'gtk' VCL plugin for me.

If it still fits, try with a longer directory name, once it's too long, the dropdown, but only the dropdown will extend too much to the left to accomodate even the longest name in the list.

Bibisected with Linux 41max, had to skip some commits due to the dialog being weird, but out of the remaining haystack, this stands out:
