Created attachment 162470 [details] Screenshot with LibreOffice 7.1 alpha - paragraph widget clipped of This is with Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3ba009e0c2b7800305103f8ec86df58625fed955 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2020-06-25_05:32:26 and according to a user he's also seeing it with current 7.0 beta. This is a regression from LibreOffice 6.4. How to reproduce: 1. Open an arbitrary presentation. 2. Ensure the sidebar is visible. 3. Edit a text block (or create one if necessary). 4. Observe how the paragraph widget in the sidebar is cut off. Also observe that the sidebar is *far* wider in 7.1 than it used to be in 6.4 and *still* clips now.

I'm sure we fixed this at one point but it seems to have returned as a problem
The logic of bug 130197 is still relevant, but since https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=754bea8c6a17889f9d4d23bf98847b6b67253220 the width can be reduced in line with that

That should make a noticeable difference. Otherwise a redesign of the table sidebar is indicated to narrow its design to allow the rest to be narrower too
This addresses the clipping of the sidebar, thank you! It still feels a little wide, though. Do you think reducing the width of the edit boxes would help? They feel wider than necessary (= more digits than one would need)?
no, at this point its the table sidebar which sets the overall width. That one has two homogeneous columns where one of the columns has either 4 normal toolbar buttons, or one normal toolbar buttons and two toolbar menu buttons and that determines the overall width of the other panels
I'll call this fixed as the clipping is fixed, which doesn't negate the option of a new bug to request a redesign to allow the width to be reduced
