Description dolezvo1 2026-01-15 19:10:34 UTC
Description:
I've noticed quite some time ago that elements on the Writer's Table of Contents' Entries page aren't responsive, i.e. are small regardless of the size of the window. I wanted to take a stab at fixing it, but I noticed that the elements are in fact responsive on Linux, so the issue will be in some platform specific code, which I can't debug very well.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do Insert > Table of Contents and Index > Table of Contents,... in Writer
2. Go to the Entries page
3. Resize the window to be larger

Actual Results:
The elements keep their small size, which is particularly bothersome with the Structure field

Expected Results:
The elements should change their size when the window is resized, as they do on Linux


Reproducible: Always

The items in the 'Entries' tab of the TOC-dialog do not become wider, when the dialog is dragged wider. That is especially a problem with the area in the 'Structure:' line.

The item in the other tabs of hte TOC-dialog adapt their size to a wider dialog. Only the 'Entries' tab is affected.

I see is both in vertical tabs and horizontal tabs variants.

I see this behavior in Version: 26.2.0.0.beta1 (X86_64)
Build ID: 620(Build:0)
CPU threads: 32; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
