Description: Hello, after increasing the width of the column for comments, I cannot decrease it anymore and it stays at a maximum of roughly the page width. This happened already with the first time using this new feature. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Increase the column for Comments 2.Try to decrease it and fail :) Actual Results: Cursor changes visually and indicates resizing the column, but doesn't actually grab the line or move it. Expected Results: To be able to decrease the width for comments to an appropriate width.

Just very briefly looking at this, could this be the same as bug 159146 which has a fix in the upcoming 24.8.1?

Unfortunately not. The change of cursor to resize is visible (see screenshot I just attached), but when actually holding and moving to resize the comment, it immediately changes back to text selection cursor (if moving to the left).

What I did notice just now though is, that it worked in a new document (with the cosmetic issue mentioned above), after switching off the ruler. I still could resize the comment when switching the ruler back on. In an existing document (without any comments) this does only work once. When trying to increase the comment width just a tiny bit, it immediately jumps to max width and gets stuck again.
It works fine for me with a master build. Can you please try with a daily build?

No issue on Win builds. An existing ODT document with comments opens. Hiding and showing the comments column keeps its width. And when hiding the comments column, while *hidden* the width extending off the ruler remains the same--but canvas redraw shifts it over, but it keeps the same width as is set.

see also bug 162852, if the pointer during drag resize of the column passes over the document page edge, the Comment column will jump expand to its maximum width.
@sleepyhead.km -- where are you releasing the pointer? Does it behave with a short controlled drag of the column edge rather than a swipe?
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #9) > @sleepyhead.km -- where are you releasing the pointer? Does it behave with a > short controlled drag of the column edge rather than a swipe? Also, are you keeping the drag pointer within the ruler widget's height? I see that if the pointer drops below or above the ruler's height the Comment width drag aborts.
