Screenshot showing the colour chooser opening off the bottom of the screen

When attempting to change the background colour of a table cell in Libreoffice Writer 4.4, the colour chooser (in the table toolbar) does not detect the bottom screen edge and the majority of the colour chooser opens off screen.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Libreoffice Writer and insert a table
2. Click within the table (the table toolbar appears at the bottom)
3. Click on the background colour icon

Expected behaviour: The colour chooser should detect the bottom of the screen and open upwards.

Current behaviour: The colour chooser opens downward as usual and the majority of the colour chooser is not visible.

I have attached a screenshot to show the problem.

Tested on Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 Beta & Lubuntu 14.04.

This is a regression from Libreoffice 4.2.6 and 4.3.1.

Is it still an issue? It seems to me fixed since http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=7d860f6134654c2f46ceebb1ca1a792c143af795. Can someone else confirm?

Yes confirmed fixed--now nicely pinned to the toolbar. And can be "torn away".
