Description Emir Sarı 2013-06-20 14:07:43 UTC
Title is pretty much self-explanatory, though it is not a critical bug, it feels unprofessional and annoying. 

Just open the "About" dialog for example, and select the version info.

Thank you for your bug report, I can reproduce this bug running LibreOffice Version: 4.1.0.1

Comment 6 steve 2015-09-04 07:28:52 UTC
Text in About window still jiggling when marking it with mouse.

Typing in the about info is also still possible. Now instead of of showing what was typed, the about info just disappears.

It would be really great to make this static info non editable and not jiggling.

steve, could you please give exact reproduction instructions, what should I look at to see the "jiggle"?

Repro instructions:
1. Open the About dialoag
2. Select "V" of Version with your mouse - observe wiggle
3. Select "Ve" of Version - observe wiggle back

Other parts of the About dialog doesn't seem to wiggle

No longer able to reproduce in LO 7.0.0.1RC1

@Emir: If this is persisting with other dialogs, please do re-open and provide exact info about the dialog you are seeing the issue persisting with.

Version 7 introduces a reworked about screen which no longer exposes the text wiggle issue or allows typing.
