Description: Clicking on `LibreOffice Start Center` (which seems to have been renamed from `LibreOffice` in LO version 7.3) does not fit in smaller laptop display, i.e. 14”, with an enlarged Linux Mint Panel. If the window fits in the display, the top right of the window has 3 buttons (minimize, restore, close). As the window does not fit in the display, the LibreOffice Start Center window only has 2 buttons (minimize. Close). This did not occur with LibreOffice 7.3 Flatpak using 11” and 14” screen sizes. Is the LibreOffice Start Center window size (dimensions) in versions 7.4 larger than the LibreOffice window size in versions 7.3? If so, could this be a regression?

What a screen resolution do you have on your display?
Created attachment 181644 [details] Panel Height 60 (maximum), less vertical height for LibreOffice Start Centre (In reply to Roman Kuznetsov from comment #2) > What a screen resolution do you have on your display? Display resolution: 1280 x 720 (16:9) The Panel Height is set to the maximum of 60, as shown in the attached image, so there is less vertical height for the LibreOffice Start Centre window.
Can this issue's status please be marked as NEW?
Could be related to bug 150236 and some refactoring of WindowState handling and receiving fallback window size for the Start Center that don't fit your display. Please test your system with a TDF build of the master nighlty against LO 7.5.0 [1] where things are better. Will probably need to install it in parallel as your Flatpak packaging is probably not available.

Reproduced with LO 6.2.0.2 to recent master build 24.2 alpha0+: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 24d0a62bd75b9a895c419aa165da648ab18f134d CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded All versions using gtk3. I tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME 3.36.8 + Wayland, with screen scaling to 200% on a 1920×1080 display. (Other VCLs wouldn't react to scaling setting.) I can see the maximise button but clicking it (or using Super + UP, or double-clicking the window's title bar) does not maximise the screen, probably because the contents of the left-hand sidebar would overflow. Related to bug 151194 (probably duplicate) and bug 134941 (which started as the same issue but was closed after an attempt at adding a scrollbar). In my opinion, this should be fixed given that one can't use the Start Center on a 1920×1080 display scaled at 200%, but can use Writer on _a quarter_ of that. This is an accessibility issue as this configuration wouldn't be unheard of for many low-vision users. Michael, what do you think? Heiko, apologies for bringing this one up again!

For Qt-based VCLs, setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 should be enough (same with GDK_SCALE=2 for Gtk); I usually just set that for running single applications when testing without having to change the setting for anything else. > In my opinion, this should be fixed given that one can't use the Start > Center on a 1920×1080 display scaled at 200%, but can use Writer on _a > quarter_ of that. > This is an accessibility issue as this configuration wouldn't be unheard of > for many low-vision users. > > Michael, what do you think? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/ says > X Server with 1024x768 resolution (higher resolution recommended), with at least 256 colors In a naive approach, I think that that probably has to roughly be multiplied by the scale factor when using any?

It's cut off for me as well when I set my screen resolution to 1024x720, with a (default?) panel height of 36 pixels on KDE Plasma. So if the minimum requirements mentioned above are still valid, I agree that this should be fixed. Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 3121642fb1927c9cb1aa35c6b3e6afa818459117 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.3; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
UX requires a minimum screen size of 1280x768px/WXGA (the main menu is design for this) while officially the resolution needs to be at least 1024x768px. Sure, we can allow resitzing/maximizing the start center but there will be flaws anyway.
Has there been any progress or conclusion on this? This issue still affects me on my laptop screen (1366x768, 29px panel height).
