Description xamcrx 2020-09-12 19:18:51 UTC
Hi!
I've downloaded and installed LibreOffice from Linux Bodhi 5.1 32 Bit Synaptic Package Manager on an old laptop - a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V7010.
When saving a Writer file under the Save As option, the window which opens is larger than the screen so you cannot see what the window is called or the filename in the field you are naming your document. You cannot resize this window as the cursor cannot reach the extremities of the Save window to drag and resize. The formats are difficult to access too but not impossible although the Cancel and Save buttons are also missing. I also installed the same version, LibreOffice 6.0.7.3, on a PC with a 27" monitor so that is how I know what the titles are called and what I should be seeing on the laptop screen.
Fortunately, just typing a filename of my choice and pressing Enter will force the document to be saved but for a new user, it had me stumped for a while.
How do I resize the Save As screen or move it so that I can resize to suit the laptop?
Regards
Andrew

6.0.7.3 is nearly two years old, many improvements have been made since then.

Have you tried downloading a more recent version? You can find one here:

Hi Michael,
No. These are 64bit versions of Linux. My laptop is only 32 bit. I know ancient and all that but it works OK.
I downloaded the latest version of Linux Bodhi from the Bodhi download site and LibreOffice using the Synaptic Package Manager from there.
Regards
Andrew

Sorry, only 6.4 is under maintenance now, soon to cease. 
Not clear what you expected, see LO cersions roadmap.

This is Invalid report anyway, you should use ask.libreoffice.org.
You may try to change dialog type in Options. 
Please do not ask more.
