Description jonsgough 2025-01-09 21:14:07 UTC
Description:
Listbox drop down list is not directly connected to the listbox itself. Depending on where on the screen calc is the drop down will change location.

It appears that the calculation for the listbox drop down location is incorrect.

It is the same for combo box 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add listbox to a cell in calc
2.Dismiss connect to data source dialog
3.Select 'Control Properties' via right click on listbox
4.Fill in 'Linked cell'
5.Fill in 'Source cell range'
6.Exit properties dialog
7.Select drop down button on listbox
8.Depending on where calc is displayed on the screen will determine where the drop down shows up

The same can be done for combo box with the same display result

Actual Results:
Listbox drop down does not appear associated with the listbox and can be difficult to find.
Combo box drop down does not appear associated with the combo box and can be difficult to find.

Expected Results:
Listbox and combo box should work the same as in previous releases with the drop down associated/attached to the list/combo box


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e14c9fdd1f585efcbb2c5363087a99d20928d522
CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Tried the same on a KVM virtual machine guest of Ubuntu 24.04 with the same version of LibreOffice and the drop downs worked as expected.

Screenshot of issue

If the screen zoom is modified whilst the drop down box is showing, in my case by Ctrl+Shift+Page Down the drop down box will attach to the listbox. If the list box drop down is closed and reopened it is again not attached.

Calc has been moved slightly from left hand edge of screen

If calc is moved on the screen from the left hand edge the drop down box moves about twice the distance to the right. This also occurs vertically.

It can be very difficult to find where the llistbox drop down is on a complicated spreadsheet.
