Created attachment 194625 [details] Screenshot comparing vertical and horizontal layout The dialog is still too small. Especially: The 'Options' layout column in the Area section is so small: labels are cut and drop-down arrow in the field overlay the text in the field. The attachment compares horizontal and vertical dialog for 'Gradient' and 'Image'. The 'Options' layout column is nearly half of the width in vertical dialog than in horizontal dialog. Tested with Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 3c41e714497fdb13cdcbc4d6ba31887d4aaa4b61 CPU threads: 32; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 22631); UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
The dialog is too small for Section "Split Options" in category "Text Flow" as well. The field unit is cut.
On kf5 I get some errors like these, but not identical to yours (since you're on Windows, the result will differ a bit). For instance, in "Text flow" - "Hyphenation" I get some labels cut out because there's not enough space. But in the "Area" section I don't get any issues. Tested with (built from master today) Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: dc243f0122ba656d2630e93bebfb84a2bfe4042a CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
Reproduced as in screenshot with gen VCL plugin: Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 70b3e128aef631e18e6451362c2e6315c28b857e CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: x11 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Same in e.g. "Graphic Style > Area" in Impress.
Should we have separate reports for all similar tabs or can all be handled here? Because I see this in Calc's Format - Page Style - Page. There labels such as Text direction and Table alignment are cut off. I wonder what happens in translated versions.
From bug 161049 comment 8, about Calc's Format Cells dialog: The tab _box list_ is too small (at least some of the tab names are not completely readable in the current width of the box; depending on language too), not size-able (customized size of the tab-box-list should also be remembered).
Not sure if UX team has reviewed this yet, so added them in here.
Confirmed, but only when the Paragraph dialog is opened in its Style context, i.e. now with the vertical Tabs present on left edge showing 4 columns in the UI. The Paragraph dialog is sized correctly when opened directly, so still showing the horizontal Tabs and showing just 3 columns in its UI. Seems like the dialog needs to be made wider to hold the vertical Tabs.

(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #7) > Seems like the dialog needs to be made wider to hold the vertical Tabs. This is likely not going to fly. We need a complete new design concept. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines/PropertyDialog
