Have made screenshots for the Base Handbook. I have tried to resize the wizard dialogs as I have done in older versions of LO, for example LO 5.1.5.2. Resizing dialogs doesn't work any more. Fixed size leads to the special problem of bug 122305 (Text ends abruptly because there isn't any wordwrap). All tested with LO 6.1.4.2, OpenSUSE 15, 64bit rpm Linux. For details see screenshots of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=147801
Hi Robert, Are you sure the dialog was resizable in previous versions? I can't resize it in Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3ca42d8d51174010d5e8a32b96e9b4c0b3730a53 Threads 4; Ver: 4.15; Render: default; Version: 5.0.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 0db96caf0fcce09b87621c11b584a6d81cc7df86 Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8) Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: c15927f20d4727c3b8de68497b6949e72f9e6e9e Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: efca6f15609322f62a35619619a6d5fe5c9bd5a)
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #1) > Hi Robert, > Are you sure the dialog was resizable in previous versions? I have tested it again: With this version I could resize dialogs: Version: 5.2.7.2 Build ID: 2b7f1e640c46ceb28adf43ee075a6e8b8439ed10 CPU Threads: 6; OS Version: Linux 4.12; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group I have made screenshots for Base-Handbook with OpenSUSE 15, 64bit rpm, xfce and clearlooks (gtk2). Resizing works for list box wizard, combo box wizard and group box wizard ... OK, I see the wrong content in the title: "Form-Wizard". The "Form-Wizard" couldn't be resized in any version I have tested ... Will correct the title.

Why do you need to resize the dialog? If there is no urgent need, the clean solution is to fix the word wrap problem.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #4) > Why do you need to resize the dialog? If there is no urgent need, the clean > solution is to fix the word wrap problem. Have described it in the report. I don't need this dialogues for creating anything with Base. I only make screenshots for Base-Handbook to show, what could be done with Base. The word wrap-problem is the more important problem. So I can't make screenshots of this dialogues in any version since 5.3.*. I prefer not to show the bugs of LO in a Handbook.
Tried to remove the <property name="max_width_chars">82</property> from extensions/uiconfig/sabpilot/ui/optiondbfieldpage.ui and to force a redraw at setDescriptionText() in commonpagesdbp.hxx #110, both with no success. Any idea, Caolan? Wordwrap is still automatic but the text get's ellipsis at the end, also when I request a certain width for the label.
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/67942/ makes this wrap as wanted I believe
(In reply to Caolán McNamara from comment #7) > https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/67942/ makes this wrap as wanted I believe Out of curiosity, why is wordwrap not working in this dialog and you have to calculate both width and height?
