See atttached ScreenShot below.

They work here to remove the Maximized( horizontal -and-or- vertical )Settings.

I found an Ask Ubuntu Question which deals with this issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1159...w-size-problem

I have the ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/registrymodifications.xcu along with the Variables.

In addition, I found the Advanced Configs in LibreOffice->[Tools]->[Options]->[Advanced]->[Open Expert-Configuration]

I want to read more before I mess with these settings but maybe that's the way to go ?

Thanks for the response kjh. I had originally applied the new settings to the Libre Office StartCenter and can't seem to find a way back into the Special App Settings to reverse the changes I made.

I did just remove LibreOffice entirely with pkgtool and then deleted everything I could in my ~home directory referring to Libreoffice and then reinstalled. There must be something hidden that I missed because the settings were still changed and not the original. Thanks again.

Dang !

That's twice today. This is a Dupe of #349.

Sorry.

Thank you kjhambrick; now I have some reading and studying, and I'll see you in March.

This is how I got into the Special App Settings for Calc

1. Open Calc
2. Right-Click the Title Bar
3. Left-Click [More Actions]
4. Left-Click [Configure Special Application Settings]

I did find that there will be one set of Configs for each of the LO Applications -- I only use Calc with any regularity so that's all I messed with.

No offence intended but did you First Open LO StartCenter ( i.e. /usr/bin/soffice ) then do the 4-steps ?

IMNSHO: Given all the Online Reports of this issue, this is an Upstream ( LO ) Bug and definitely not due to AlienBob's nor chris.willing's LibreOffice.SlackBuilds ...

I've not tried Willy's rpm2tgz libreoffice.SlackBuild but I wonder if it behaves the same way ( I would bet that it does ) ?

I don't understand the LO issue well enough to file a Bug Report ( yet ) but I am working on it

P.S. I'll be back in March with gus3

The announcement, https://blog.documentfoundation.org/...4-2-community/

Well Shucks

I was looking at the LO 7.4.2 Release Notes ( bugs fixed in RC1,RC2,RC3 ) but didn't see any likely suspects ...

Thanks for verifying willysr.

My HERO, marav !

Time to test

-- kjh

p.s. I can report that marav's patch works without error against the LO 7.4.1.2 Source Code referenced by the SBo LibreOffice.info File.

Added a Line-or-two to to LibreOffice.SlackBuild to execute patch on marav's patch file and I am building the LibreOffice.SlackBuild version 7.4.1.2 now.

So far, so good after 10+minutes of execution ...

So far I haven't had the issue resurface since this, and I have absolutely no idea why not.

My /etc/profile.d/libreoffice.sh currently enforces gtk3, but when I was testing with that before it wasn't fixing it. As far as I'm aware, nothing else LibreOffice-adjacent changed on my system, though...

I just tried applying the official patch from LibreOffice, as well as the patch at marav's link (they're basically the same), to the released 7.4.2.3 code but they will not apply - looks like those patches are already included.

I'll be interested in result of kjhambrick's experiment with 7.4.1.2 (running, not just building).

willysr · 10-14-2022, 02:58 AM

I don't know why, but now all of my impress windows are maximized when i open new presentations.
i guess the issue is fixed for me

All --

As I mentioned in my edit, the patches applied wothout error to the SBo 15.0 LibreOffice 7.4.1.2 Source.

When I looked this morning, the Build had finished and I had a brand new LO Package:

Code:

[root@kjhlt7 LibreOffice-patched]# head -1 LibreOffice.SlackBuild-7.4.1.2_SBo_patch.log && tail -1 LibreOffice.SlackBuild-7.4.1.2_SBo_patch.log
LibreOffice.SlackBuild startup  at Thu Oct 13 15:52:02 CDT 2022
LibreOffice.SlackBuild complete at Thu Oct 13 16:24:38 CDT 2022 ... RetCode = 0

[root@kjhlt7 LibreOffice-patched]# ls -lad ../pkg/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 328933959 Oct 13 16:24 ../pkg/LibreOffice-7.4.1.2-x86_64-1_SBo_patch.tgz

Of note: the size of the SBo Package is quite different than AlienBob's:

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 konrad users 182562884 Sep 15 12:39 /dld/15.0/alien/pkg/libreoffice/libreoffice-7.4.1-x86_64-1alien.txz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root  328933959 Oct 13 16:24 /dld/15.0/slackbuilds/pkg/LibreOffice-7.4.1.2-x86_64-1_SBo_patch.tgz

However, Eric provides 111 separate Packages ( I install three +plus+ the English Dict ) and the SBo seems to be more an 'all-in-one' Package.

Anyhow ... I removed AlienBob's LibreOffice Packages ( libreoffice-kde-integration-7.4.1-x86_64-1alien.txz, libreoffice-sdkdoc-7.4.1-noarch-1alien.txz, libreoffice-dict-en-7.4.1-x86_64-1alien.txz and libreoffice-7.4.1-x86_64-1alien.txz ) and installed the new patched SBo Package.

The scalc program looks good and everything that I need seems to work and it opens the Window at the same size as it was when I exited.

Even when I Maximize then Exit !

So far, so good !

HTH

p.p.s. This is my SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN, set by /etc/profile.d/libreoffice.sh

Code:

[konrad@kjhlt7 tmp]$ env |grep SAL_
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5

p.s. this is a Unified Diff on the LibreOffice.SlackBuild

According to the bug report against LibreOffice, https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/....cgi?id=150856 , this should be fixed in 7.4.2. Have you already tested that release? It's just recently been made available.

The SBo SlackBuild for 7.4.2.3 is in the queue for next round of updates. This version already contains the changes which are the basis of the patch that @kjhambrick tested with the 7.4.1.2 version. Until the next updates are published, the 7.4.2.3 SlackBuild is at:
