Screencast showing the bug

The bullet editing dialog gets broken when one tries to change the width:

* inter a new text box via Insert -> Text Box ans write in e.g. "test"
* use menu Format -> Bullets
* in the appearing dialog change the Width

result: the dialog window suddenly shrinks. it is still useful but its view is broken, see the attached screenshot.

I use Windows 11.

I cannot reproduce it. The dialog itself and the preview in the dialog keep their size for me.

Tested with daily build Version: 26.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64)
Build ID: 680(Build:0)
CPU threads: 32; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

and with 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
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US

Which LibreOffice version do you use?

> Which LibreOffice version do you use

I use this version:

https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86_64/LibreOffice_26.2.0.1_Win_x86-64.msi

I have x86-64 under Windows 11 Pro (German Windows but LO is installed with English UI).

Muso, please wait for someone else to confirm the bug. The reporter is making the report, and a second person is setting the bug as New after confirming the same problem. Please wait a bit. Thanks anyway for reporting.

Also no problem on my system
Version: 25.8.3.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: 8ca8d55c161d602844f5428fa4b58097424e324e
CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Maybe it a Windows only bug. Lets wait more testers.
Comment 4 Regina Henschel 2026-01-25 16:24:45 UTC
I have now tested it with LibreOffice_26.2.0.2_Win_x86-64.msi.

There indeed the preview window becomes wider. It becomes so wide that the column with the controls becomes too small.

commit a1dd68b71831c76cfab738cdea2347c795c77cb2
tidy up impress bullets and numbering dialog
a little but to have less arbitrary numbers in it

adding CC: Caolán McNamara
Please, take a look?

The dialog size changes in gtk,
but in KDE and Windows the dialog size does not change and the text becomes invisible.
