Description Ash 2024-06-15 03:39:11 UTC
Description:
Some LibreOffice user interface windows do not seem to scale correctly and instead present text with scroll bars that shouldn’t require them. See the text below the preview in the image below of the Select Your Preferred User Interface dialog box.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Windows 10 with "Change the size of text, apps and other items" set to anything larger than 150%
2. Open LibreOffice Writer and select "View/User Interface".


Actual Results:
The description text under the Preview appears with scrollbars.

Expected Results:
The dialog window should automatically scale to fit the contents.  Other dialog boxes although they don't automatically scale are at least manually resizable (Tools/Options for example).


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
