Description CharlieRamirez 2022-11-24 00:17:13 UTC
Description:
Libreoffice in all programs tends to Start as a very small window (ONLY THE CLOSE BUTTON AND LOGO IS VISIBLE) in the upper right corner that is impossible to click until you give it a little resized by dragging its corner.
since the last updates of the Debian Testing for Libreoffice repository This tends to Start as a very small window (ONLY THE CLOSE BUTTON AND LOGO IS VISIBLE) in the upper right corner that is impossible to click until you give it a little resized by dragging its corner.

Reading in the Manjaro and Linux mint groups, there are ubuntu and debian users who seem to be repeating this problem since last year with various desktops.

So far I have only found one Solution by a manjaro user (applicable to debian) by checking and editing some Window values using the terminal (some users on ubuntu have resorted to using macros to resize on open.) but so far At the moment I have not found if the problem resides entirely in libreoffice or the desktop managers (since some users report that it changes between machines that share a desktop or systems)

See Related to bug: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/libre-office-weird-small-windows-in-plasma-issue/122403

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using a Debian installation with plasma environment Testing repositories Enabled and up-to-date updates for system and libreoffice Version: 7.4.2.3 [Apparently it can also happen with manjaro, Mint Qubes OS and ubuntu with Plasma and xFce4 environments]
2.Open and close LibreOffice resize and drag window as normaly... in one of these open app process a very tiny window would appear
3. Open terminal and run 
grep ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/registrymodifications.xcu

Return values will be near to 0,00 [the bug itself].

in my case
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/org.openoffice.Setup:Factory['com.sun.star.drawing.DrawingDocument']"><prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:op="fuse"><value>0,0,1,1;5;0,0,0,0;</value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/org.openoffice.Setup:Factory['com.sun.star.frame.StartModule']"><prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:op="fuse"><value>31,50,1245,718;1;0,0,0,0;</value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/org.openoffice.Setup:Factory['com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument']"><prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:op="fuse"><value>-1121821488,2056420896,-1097813872,616144784;5;0,0,0,0;</value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/org.openoffice.Setup:Factory['com.sun.star.text.TextDocument']"><prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:op="fuse"><value>0,0,1,1;5;0,0,0,0;</value></prop></item>

-Accrding a MAnjaro User changing the values or compairing. values will be near to:
grep ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/registrymodifications.xcu 
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/org.openoffice.Setup:Factory['com.sun.star.frame.StartModule']"><prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:op="fuse"><value>1024,24,39,32;5;1024,24,1680,1025;</value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/org.openoffice.Setup:Factory['com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument']"><prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:op="fuse"><value>1024,24,39,32;5;1024,32,1680,1017;</value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/org.openoffice.Setup:Factory['com.sun.star.text.TextDocument']"><prop oor:name="ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes" oor:op="fuse"><value>0,51,4,4;5;0,51,1024,1228;</value></prop></item> 

These paremeters are:
x-pos,y-pos,width,height ; window-state ; maximized-x-pos,maximized-y-pos,maximized-width,maximized-height ;

Actual Results:
Libreoffice in any of its programs (Calc,writer etc.) starts as an extremely small window in which only the close button is visible and the user must rearrange and resize the window by manual dragging at each start

Expected Results:
Libreoffice should either remember its previously used window size or start at a default minimum window size


Reproducible: Always

Did you clear your user profile?

This seems dupe of bug 150779, where fix was partial revert of refactoring done for master against 7.5

Please clear profile and retest. Or test with a parallel install daily master against 7.5
