On Windows 11, text truncation already occurred in earlier versions of LibreOffice.

Reproducible
Version: 25.8.4.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: 290daaa01b999472f0c7a3890eb6a550fd74c6df
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26200); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

but seems it's fine with
Version: 26.2.0.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: 620(Build:2)
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26200); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
Comment 5 Gabor Kelemen (Collabora) 2026-02-02 09:53:16 UTC
I can still reproduce this issue on Win 10, with current nightly:

Version: 26.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64)
Build ID: 680(Build:0)
CPU threads: 24; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

...anyways, this is build from 2026-01-29 18:22:15

Trick is to place the cursor at the last sentence, "Traduit avec DeepLcom" before pressing F7.
Then press "Ignore once" on the words and choose to continue checking from the beginning of document.

Then the long paragraphs words will be truncated still.

Seems to have started in 24.2, before this text preview box did not have scrollbars.

Resolves: tdf#157148 spelling dialog sentence box has no scrollbars

Seems to affect only Windows. Before the regression of the above bug, in 6.0 the scrollbar did not overlap the text.
