Description Taryn Fox 2012-05-17 02:33:32 UTC
PROBLEM

My OS (Fedora 17) has a handy, easy-to-find "Large Text" option in its accessibility menu. I keep it on all the time even though I'm not vision-impaired, because I use a laptop up on a stand with an external keyboard, and the default font sizes are tiny at this distance.

Unfortunately, this means that certain dialogs -- like the Customize menu -- have buttons and other UI elements that are outside of the screen area. I have to turn off Large Text and restart LibreOffice if I want to see what I'm doing.

HOW TO REPRODUCE

1. Turn on GNOME 3's "Large Text" accessibility setting on a laptop with a 15-inch screen. (This bug may or may not be reproducible in other configurations. I suspect that netbooks with 10-inch, 1024x600 displays have it worse, whatever OS they are using.)
2. Try to use the Customize menu.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

LibreOffice will remain usable and accessible, even on netbooks or for vision-impaired users.
