Pulled from bug 37480 comment 17. 3) medium: when the popup appears, the color palette color area expands, which causes the recent colors area to be shrunk, which causes the recent colors scrollbar buttons to overlap and the recent colors list to be less visible and less easy to click, as they are about ~10px in height.
Created attachment 107210 [details] screenshot of how the recent color list looks
I confirm issue on Win7x64 using 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 268b9c10c9ff27c74678ace99762f28d58d33012 TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-02_23:35:24
retested with 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ under Win7 Build ID: 6ba8b7f5eacac969e4781d63718083a05491b1bc TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-24_02:23:51 the recent colors list buttons have now the same size of the palette list buttons. could we label this as resolved?
It is larger than it used to be, but still not the same size as the palette list. Palette List Size : 13x12 Recent List Size : 13x9 Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 6ba8b7f5eacac969e4781d63718083a05491b1bc TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-24_05:10:51
@Jay: Does http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=3efc3cc5b0b4b6151e928c2348c7dc6f74181db5 make any difference in this regard?
@Maxim: As i dont compile, i have to wait for the next daily build. :D
Created attachment 108607 [details] screenshot Got the latest build and the area isnt being shrunk anymore but the area now is smaller than it used to be, which makes the scrollbar buttons to overlap each other and i'm not able to get to the second row of recently used colors.

There should not be a second row. The recent color count is no more than one row by design. See Tomaž Vajngerl comment at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/11494/. Regarding the scrollbar - it's a bug, as it shouldn't appear at all.

See Tomaž Vajngerl comment at > https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/11494/. I thought that might be the case. :D Well then can we add maybe 2 or 3 pixels padding above and below, so i doesnt seem so cramped. Also is it possible to remove the scrollbar buttons on the right. > Regarding the scrollbar - it's a bug, as it shouldn't appear at all. If the scrollbar isnt supposed to show, what visual indicator is a user supposed to know that there are additional colors outside of the ones currently being displayed.

(In reply to Maxim Monastirsky from comment #10) > I'm talking about the scrollbar of the recent colors. Oh okay. Well they still do appear. :D
Hi Jay, Can we close this bug?
Hi Maxim, Dont see any scrollbar now but can anything be done about expanding the height of the recent color section, as mentioned in comment 7: "Got the latest build and the area isnt being shrunk anymore but the area now is smaller than it used to be".
