Created attachment 197039 [details] Screenshot of the Text Import dialog at wide widths Somewhat related to bug #163419 in terms of UX: as you can see in the attached screenshot, it is possible to size up the width of the "Text Import" (CSV parser preview) dialog in Calc, however it does not make judicious use of the new available width, so it wastes a ton of space. Ideally, it should adaptively rearrange its layout for those four sections ("Import", "Separator Options", "Other Options", "Fields") to be laid out in 2 or 4 columns, instead of just one column that eats half of the screen height across the entire width of the window when there would be plenty of space to fit all the contents on one or two rows of columns. --- Tested on: Version: 24.8.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0f794b6e29741098670a3b95d60478a65d05ef13 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Flatpak Calc: threaded

I do like this. Yeah, the screen size is not used widely. I have no idea, if we're already using similar techniques in other dialogs, but this is completely valid as the user needs to focus on the data in the preview (e.g. see content)
