The pop up template box on a high resolution display is too small to be usable, not even large enough to display the name of even one template. This is particularly a problem on upgrading to a 4k screen: the pop up box is tiny. It is an adequate size if the display resolution is reduced to 1366x768 but this is hardly acceptable as the computer is used for applications that require a higher resolution. I have searched for a fix but none is listed so I believe it is a bug. This is a problem with LibreOffice but not with OpenOffice 4.1.6 which displays a usable size box
Hi, can you also provide the LibreOffice version you are using and your environment? Go to Help > About LibreOffice and copy the information there and post it here.
Created attachment 181102 [details] Screenshot The screenshot is made on a high-res screen with 200% scaling. The Template Manager looks not too bad. Please be more specific about your settings.
That would be fine and that's what I'm used to with OpenOffice 4.1.1. With Libreoffice 7.3.4.2 it's less than 1/5 the width of the screen. I am running Windows 10 home 20H2 with 3840x2160 resolution. The scale is set at 300% to get the text a reasonable size; the size of the box does not change with the scaling
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
Mine was made with W11 at 200% zoom factor (in a virtual box) on a 13" / 2560 × 1600 px display with v4.0 (actually build from master meaning 7.5). Anyone to confirm?
For OP, is your HiDPI 300% scaling set via Windows 10 Display Settings -> "Scale and Layout" droplist box? Have you checked with "Advanced scaling settings" and entered a "Custom scaling" value. Also, a hint as an aside for HiDPI use--change your LibreOffice icon theme selection from default "Colibre" to "Colibre (SVG)" via the Tools -> Options -> View panel. The source SVG will be parsed into a new set of resolution appropriate bitmap icons.

Rafael, do you want to look into this issue?
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #10) > Rafael, do you want to look into this issue? I don't have a HiDPI display, but I simulated it using the following command and indeed the Templates dialog is too small. QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kf5 ./instdir/program/soffice --writer The Templates dialog has a fixed width/height of 740 x 500 (see [1]) [1] https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sfx2/uiconfig/ui/templatedlg.ui?r=b573ce56#41 Removing this fixed size seems to fix the problem. I'll be submitting a patch.
Rafael made the dialog larger and it looks like this for me 100% https://imgur.com/LHFVATe 200% https://imgur.com/DA3XtS5 250% https://imgur.com/6Eho5TK (running W11 in a Virtualbox on a MacBook Pro 13") We decided to keep the dialog non-resizable as this is how most dialogs work in LibreOffice. And neither size nor position is stored to keep things simple.

Rafael, please have a look at Draw. Seen it today with one tree line height only. Impress and all other modules work well. v7.4 on Linux
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #16) > Rafael, please have a look at Draw. Seen it today with one tree line height > only. Impress and all other modules work well. v7.4 on Linux I've just tested LO Draw 7.4.1 on Kubuntu 22.04 (both with kf5 and gtk3). If you go to Files - Templates - Manage Templates the Template Manager will open as expected with a grid that fits 3 x 4 templates. I also tested with my local build of the master branch. Did you try in safe mode? Or on a clear user profile?
