Hi Cor,
Does it happen with a specific document or with all?

With any,
Comment 5 Xisco Faulí 2019-01-15 22:13:58 UTC
Hi Cor,
Could you please try in safe mode?
OTOH, what happens if you run libreOffice with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk ?

How do I force that?

Then I get the old gtk2 dialogs; normal height.

Maybe someone else can reproduce?

With clean profile, tried various options. Each with the same result.

Output:
  $ ../libreofficedev6.3/program/soffice with --safe-mode

Does it happen if you call LibreOffice with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk instdir/program/swriter ?
Which version of GTK do you have ?
Comment 14 Jim Avera 2019-01-21 18:30:47 UTC

No difference for me (the style dialog still open taller than the screen)
Comment 15 Jim Avera 2019-01-21 18:32:00 UTC
PLEASE IGNORE previous comment.  Wrong bug. (sorry)
Comment 16 Cor Nouws 2019-01-21 22:39:50 UTC
confirmed as per duplicate :)

Please, share the gtk3 version
Comment 19 Jim Avera 2019-01-22 02:13:03 UTC
Confirming this bug on Ubuntu 18.04, LO 6.2.1.0.0 or later.
Does not happen with LO 6.1.3.2

Also: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk *does* make the bug go away.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Start Writer
2. Styles->Edit Style... (opens Paragraph Style: dialog)
Comment 20 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2019-01-22 17:01:06 UTC
Reproducible for me in LO 6.2.1.0.0+ and LO 6.3.0.0.alpha0+, both built at home under Ubuntu 18.04 x86-64 and GTK3 backend.

Restarting with a clean new profile does not cure the problem.

Best regards. JBF
Comment 21 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2019-01-22 17:27:42 UTC
Workaround: activate Asian or Complex text layout under Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages

Comment 22 Xisco Faulí 2019-01-22 17:45:07 UTC
I can reproduce it in a virtual machine with Kubuntu 17.10 using GTK3 and asian complex text layout disabled... bisecting...
