Description: Whenever I open the file dialog to open a document or to save a document, the dialog is so small that it's hardly possible to read filenames. Every time I resize it, yet the next time it's again far too small. It seems to use the KDE file dialog, and I was looking if there is an option to use LO's own file dialog, but didn't find it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start LO 2. click on open a document 3. Actual Results: the file dialog opens, but it's too small, so that navigation and reading file names is quite difficult. Expected Results: the file dialog should open in the same size in which it was used the last time (LO used to do that before the last update).

Hello, I've checked for x64 ALT Linux (started LO with kde4/kde5) - sizes of the dialogs are normal for me.

Dr. Martinus: Did you file a bug report in Manjaro's issue tracker to make sure that this is not a bug in Manjaro but in upstream LibreOffice code? If so, please provide a link to that bug report. Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't, i don't find a bug or issue tracker for Manjaro...
Well, i just posted it in the manjaro forum.
I cannot reproduce with Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: aba66a9965c68ad56bbc52a334f440edc9a946b4 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3_kde5; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded The initial description mentions that this is with the gtk3_kde5 VCL plugin. This sounds very much like the lo_kde5filepicker process doesn't save its state in your case. A similar issue was observed that is fixed with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/70834/ on master (i.e. the current development version to become LibreOffice 6.3). Can you please check whether the selected view is also not remembered in your case? To do so, click on the "Options" icon in the file dialog and select "View" and another one than currently selected. Is that remembered when you open the file dialog next time or is it set back to the one that was there previously?

I'm pretty confident that the cause for this bug has been fixed by the above commit, so I'm closing this as WORKSFORME. Should the problem still be there with LibreOffice 6.3 (there is an alpha version that can be used for testing), please reopen this bug report.
