Created attachment 112952 [details] screenshot When the window width is small (I use to work with half screen) the zoom control is hidden. I think that other elements in the status bar should dissapear before the zoom control.
This is a design and implementation issue with construction of the Status bar widget. The status bar is pinned to left edge, and depending on the active LO component will be composed of multiple elements. The Zoom % level label and the Adjust zoom level slider widgets are simply the last items appended to the end of the status bar. As the window is reduced in width, first all text labeled elements with white space will collapse until that space is eliminated, and at that point graphical widgets will start being hidden. As the right edge moves to reduce width, first the Zoom % level and then the zoom slider are hidden. They are exposed in reverse order when increasing the width. Hiding of Zoom % and Zoom slider is not considered a problem as Zoom controls are provided for all components from the main menu, View -> Zoom menu. Whereas other items on the status bar are not otherwise available in the GUI. At this point order and components of the Status bar can not be user customized, but that should be possible. For now closing this Resolved Wontfix.
But, as you can see in the screenshot, there are white spaces that should be collapsed. Instead of that, the white spaces are there and the zoom is hidden.
Mostly those are active widgets--signature, insert mode--they retain the space needed for when the needed button label is toggled. Some are padding/positioning place holders (e.g. the left side of Draw's statusbar). We've talked about eliminating the text in favor of suitable icons (with more substantive tool tips) but for now we have text labels (localized translations so of varying lengths).
Ok I understand. Thank you.
