Description Jean-Christophe 2022-10-27 16:47:52 UTC
Description:
In Calc, I first select a column, then activate Autofilter.
When I click the dropdown menu arrow on top of the selected column, the dropdown menu opens then grows indefinitely in the horizontal direction.
Even if I manage to (un)check one or several option(s), meanwhile the menu has grown too wide : the OK button disappears off the right side of the screen and I can't reach it to validate thus it is quite unusable. Only thing I can do is cancel with the « Esc » key
I never observed this with the previous version (6.4.7) ; I first noticed it after I upgraded to 7.3.5

Actual Results:
- open a spreadsheet document
- select a column
- select Data / Autofilter
- click on the down arrow on top of the selected column to open the dropdown menu
=>
the dropdown menu opens then grows indefinitely in the horizontal direction.

Expected Results:
The drop down menu should open and have a fixed width


Reproducible: Always

I don't agree.
The bug you refer to says "the OK/Cancel buttons show out of the screen".
The bug I'm reporting is different : when the dropdown menu opens, everything looks correct, BUT the menu **starts growing indefinitely** in the horizontal direction, which makes it unusable.
Comment 4 Jean-Christophe 2022-10-28 08:58:24 UTC
By the way, the proposed workaround (move the dropdown with keys) cannot be used in the situation I describe
Comment 5 Jean-Christophe 2022-10-29 20:30:40 UTC
Well, I finally found the cause of the bug : the culprit is the color theme I'm using !!
Several themes cause the problem I described above, but most don't !! 
Solution is to simply remove the "bad" themes
I'm sorry for the trouble I caused
