Description george 2025-12-27 22:40:32 UTC
Description:
There is a UI refresh/resizing issue in LibreOffice Calc when using the Function Wizard (Fx). When the user minimizes the wizard to select a cell range and then restores it, the window fails to return to its original horizontal dimensions, appearing truncated.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a new LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet.
2.Click on the Function Wizard (fx) icon or press Ctrl+F2. The wizard opens correctly in its default size.
3.Select any function (e.g., SUM or TEXTJOIN) and proceed to the next step to see the argument input fields.
4.Click the Shrink button (the small icon next to an argument input field) to select a range from the sheet.
5.Select a few cells and click the Shrink/Expand button again to return to the wizard.

Actual Results:
The Function Wizard window is restored but its width is significantly reduced (truncated). Many UI elements, labels, or buttons are hidden, and the user must manually resize the window horizontally to see all functions and buttons again.

Expected Results:
The Function Wizard should automatically return to the exact dimensions (width and height) it had before the "Shrink" button was pressed.


Reproducible: Always
