Created attachment 117580 [details] master and 5.0 about dialogs When the about dialog is left to rely on the dialog's content to decide its minimum width, you get things like what can be seen in the attachment. This wasnt a major problem with the old logo, but it is a problem with what has replaced it. On a separate note, shouldnt the libreoffice name and icon appear in the image as well, similar to the splash screen?
I don't understand what it means when you say "is left" Also - the second issue is clearly a separate issue which should be in a separate bug and set to NEW - UX-Advise
@Jay, * Letting the dialog resize based on string length of build details (as opposed to a fixed size I assume) really is not a problem. The dialog is not intended to remain open, and we include the build details as folks prefer for debug and QA work. Release builds are more concise. Don't see an issue.

Over the lifespan of the 4.x release cycle, the dialog has constantly been changing its width (attachment 99720 [details]), which isnt a good thing for consistency. As tinderbox details are not included in the dialog, the width of the dialog is smaller in release builds, though there is ample space for the dialog to be wider. A smaller dialog means a smaller logo and having a shrunken logo that is height-based as we do now, incomparison to the old width-based LibreOffice logo, is a not a advantage.
Again, not seeing this as an issue. The dialog adjusts in scale to the text that has to fit. As long as the text fits (for the build details, messages, copyright and buttons) it is as it should be. Leave it alone.
If I understand Jay correct, he says with a small width dialog, the new splash screen based logo, becomes too small (height). And that does not look nice. I think he is correct and see no problem in a minimum width.

Then fix the graphic element (which is the one that has a problem) and do not mess with the auto-width calculation (which, again, would be introducing an unrelated behavior bug to fix another).
We're replacing our use of the 'ux-advise' component with a keyword: Component -> LibreOffice Add Keyword: needsUXEval [NinjaEdit]

The graphic is an SVG image. But I agree with not fiddling around with the size calculation => WFM.
