After starting LO-writer everything seems OK. But closing the document and opening a new one the size of the window is too big, so that some elements are out of reach, vanished under the tray. By rezising the window the situation gets on the upper edge of the window even worse. This is a regression and did not happen in LO 4.4. It makes LO 5 unusable for me! I do not know if this happens also with normal screens. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start writer 2. close document. NOT LibreOffice! 3. open a new textdocument Actual Results: Window is after step 3 too big! Expected Results: It should have the same size!

Hi u.fuchs, I'm guessing that you can't bump-up the resolution of the netbook any higher, right? > After starting LO-writer everything seems OK.

I've seen something similar with system dialogs on a Dell Mini 10 netbook running Ubuntu 12.04. (e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/1025094) > This is a > regression and did not happen in LO 4.4. Hmm, very interesting. Have you every tried using our 'bibisect' tool? We've got great coverage of the 4.4 and 5.0 commit ranges and could help show you how to use bibisect to identify the commit that's causing this regression.
I have tested the problem with a Notebook which has the same OS but screen resolution 1280x800. The problem did NOT occur. It obviously has to do with the low screen resolution of 1024x600.

Again tested with an other netbook (Toshiba NB100, Kubuntu 12.04, screen resolution 1024x600). Same problem as originaly described! Window is too large.
I can confirm the bug! My system infos: kubuntu 14.04
(In reply to u.fuchs from comment #3) > It obviously has to do with the low screen resolution of 1024x600. I don't think we support such a low resolution. The "System Requirements" page says 1024x768 is the lowest supported, but actually we target now 1280x768 as the minimum resolution.
I think I am not the only user of a 10" netbook with screen resolution 1024x600. It would be regrettable if you could no longer use LibreOffice 5 and higher on these devices, especially because LibreOffice still worked/works perfectly up to version 4.4.5.

If we have bumped-up the min supported resolution, we should update the System Requirements page as well.

If they don't support it, then perhaps it's moot.. Status -> NEEDINFO
From https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements Ubuntu Netbook Edition since the release of ubuntu natty (11.04) the netbook version has been unified and is now part of the ubuntu-desktop edition, this has been done via the unity desktop software. you may now use the standard ubuntu desktop CD image to install on net-books with specifications such as: Intel Atom processor @ 1.6 GHz 386 MiB of system memory (RAM) 4 GB of disk space Screen of 1024x600 resolution Graphics chipset with support for visual effects This also applies to Kubuntu. Using Kubuntu you can switch between the netbook GUI and the default desktop after installation. The GUIs LO 4.4.5 and LO 5 don't differ recognizably to me. That is why everything should work as perfectly as before with LO 5.
I have examined the problem once again. It turned out that in LibreOffice 5.0 the window height can not be adjusted to less than 572 pixels. In LibreOffice 4.4 values under 565 pixels are possible!
