The StartCenter has a minimum size allowing the thumbnail view canvas to be shrunk to 0, and a height that had been set to always show the full set of launcher buttons. With addition of Recent Files button--Efe GSOC Templates project then Caoláns work on bug 83003--the minimum height is now to short to fully display the Base Database launch button. Need to reset the minimum size.
Created attachment 116427 [details] as in 5.1, with addition of recent files button--StartCenter minimum size is too small
Created attachment 116428 [details] as in 4.4, recent files thumbnail canvas minimum fits 1 thumbnail, but minimum height is too short
Confirming also on OSX 10.10.3 Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 843f7335b2e11dde66d5f6e0f98b98e30eff7119 Locale : fr-FR (fr.UTF-8) The problem is even worse now OSX. In a default installation, the StartCenter, which uses Breeze large icons, now only show the first four document launchers, so Math and Database are no longer visible. There is no scroll, keyboard or mouse mechanism available for navigating to these launchers, making it impossible to click on.

It will be available in 5.1.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours.

This should fix this, but I don't believe the fix will actually do anything on OS X; so that is probably a different issue. Alex - if it is still not fixed, please open a separate OS X bug. Thanks a lot!
The issue Alex mentions has nothing to do with this report, and is due to different sizing in the Breeze theme (I’ve already explained).

Sierk: Can you please create a new OS X - specific bugreport for this? Thank you!
(In reply to Jan Holesovsky from comment #11) > ... Can you please create a new OS X - specific bugreport for this? I think Alex already did so with bug 92242
It’s just unbelievable how people can’t seem to understand that their issue is not related to this report.
(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #13) > It’s just unbelievable how people can’t seem to understand that their issue > is not related to this report. Arrogance always is a bad mentor. And I feel, your comment is a little bit arrogant, sorry. The Bug's name is: StartCenter minimum size now too small with addition of Recent Files button And in it's meta data it is related to ALL platforms, and NOT reduced to one particular platform/OS. So, in what regard is that what is put on the table here relating the OS X platform NOT related to THIS report?
Sierk: Sorry about the wording, that was unfortunate :-( The point is that the problem on OS X has other root cause than what was already fixed, so it has to be handled in another bug, otherwise it is too hard to track for everyone. In other words - it is much easier to handle 2 reports of the same problem, than one report containing 2 problems. Hope this explains the situation. Thanks again for your report, please handle that in the bug 92242.

Arggh, sorry, didn't see that I'd previously opened a separate report for macOS
Sorry again, re-reading bug 92242, I see that the problem is not one of being able to resize the StartCenter, but indeed the one relating to the StartCenter window on first startup not displaying the Base icon.

This is with the automatic icon settings and Breeze icon set as the defaults.
