Description MichelR 2013-05-31 22:29:40 UTC
Create a new document in Draw.
Create a shape (a rect).
Right clic on the shape, select "Area...".
Select tab "Colors".

The color grid has no scroll bar anymore.
With the default palette, the UI is ok.

Click on the button "Load color list" and select another palette.

Problem : the rendering is very different, because the height of each color is defined by the number of colors in the palette.
Visually, it's awful.
On the usability point of view, it's very difficult to select a color when the palette get bigger.
In one case (palette "scribus" which is the biggest), LO renders no colors => it's impossible to select a color.


Expected behavior : LO should render colors in a grid with constant height, with a vertical scrollbar, as it did in LO 3.x and 4.0.


The problem is also visible in preferences.

Hi michel,
thanks for the issue. Confirm this.
It's the same in other modules.

I cannot replicate this bug under Crunchbang 11 running TDF/LO v4.1.0.4 Draw. I have attached a screenshot of the dialog mentioned in the description with the Scribus palette loaded. The colour swatches in the grid are of standard size and scroll as expected. Can the reporter please test the behaviour again under a release version?

Thanks for looking at this bug.

Tested on LO 4.1.0.4 (packaged on Ubuntu) and the behavior is back to normal : there is no more regression.
