Description Albrecht Müller 2014-07-13 13:46:01 UTC
Created attachment 102701 [details]
Example file to show the effect.

How to reproduce:
Press CTRL+F3 to open the “manage names” dialog box. Change the size of the  dialog or the width of some columns. Close the dialog. Press CTRL+F3 again. The appearance of the dialog is the same as when it was opened the first time.

Expected behaviour:
When opening the dialog again, its appearance should be the same as when it was closed. Maybe these settings should become part of the spreadsheet as the appropriate size settings depend on the specific names used in the document and thus should persist over closing and reopening Calc.

Reason: The default size may be inadequate for working with the names in the document. Partly due to other problems (e.g. content of input line disappears, see bug 81291) opening and closing this dialog can occur quite often, and it is quite annoying that each time you open the dialog you have to rearrange columns and dialog size before you can do anything useful.

This bug report might be related to this enhancement request. They both deal
with sizing/resizing the Manage Names dialog.
