The appearance of font setting in editing a style before and after some clicks

Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select styles and formating (F11)
2. Go to font section.
3. Manipulate, change any dropdown fields there, the other dropdown menus start to shrink to right side and finally they become out of reach.

Current behavior: The width of the dropdown menus become smaller and smaller upon every click.

Expected behavior: Changing any field should not have any effects on the appearance of the setting and the width of the dropdown menus.

              
Operating System: Linux (Other)

Hi Kete,

hitting a wall with your repro steps, trying to reproduce on OSX.

* open new writer document
* F11 does something completely different and when I go to menu Format > Styles and Formatting I see an entirely differnt dialogue from your screenshot. 

Please provide detailed repro steps and we'll be happy to try reproducing this issue.

Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided.

After providing the requested info, please reset this bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks :)

Thank you very much for your quick response.
Actually I meant the things when you want to modify or create a new style/format. So please from any documents go to styles and fomatting (with any shorcut; the place where you see a list of formats/styles like default style, heading 1, heading 2, text body, etc.) and right click on any of them and choose modify. Then go the the font tab and click on the dropdown menus. The problem should show up there.
Thanks

OK, the layout of font setting in editing a style arises when a CTL language is selectionned along with Western, in the Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languages

With LibO 4.2.0.1 rc1 on Win7, no shrinking problem when manipulating the fields.
