options dialog

On the Tools > Options dialog and goto the view entry and the new entries added under graphics output are crushing the entries in the column to the left of it. This is likely being caused by the long text label 'Force OpenGL even if blacklisted (might expose driver bugs)'.

How can I see these OpenCL entries?  I don't have them in my LO 4.4.0.0.beta1.  Do I have something to enable to see them?
Comment 2 Jay Philips 2014-12-30 23:25:59 UTC
You have to have 4.4 or master to see them. You can easily get it from here http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

@Jay, *,

Dialog can be resized horizontally if space is available. Otherwise not really an issue as the dropdown list is fully readable. Only the exposed item in the widget is truncated, and that pretty minor. Even the 'old' view in your clip shows truncated.  

Resolving invalid.
Comment 4 V Stuart Foote 2014-12-31 05:05:41 UTC
No regression, dropdown list items are fully readable. Also, as the dialog can be expanded or shrunk as user prefers there is no loss of function.

Resolving invalid.

Hi Stuart,

By default, the dialog should look as we intend it to look and IMHO, that is the not case here. In the old version, we could read 'Automatic' fully, and actually looking at the older version again, there isnt a reason for 'Use system font for user interface' to be on two rows when there was so much space on the right. So if anything, 'Force OpenGL even if blacklisted (might expose driver bugs)' should be allowed to be on multiple rows so it doesnt cramp items on the left column, and the left column should be increased so 'Use system font for user interface' appears on one row.

OK, back to new... if you really want to fix it.

line #101

The containing Gtk frames/grids have the same padding 12 left and 6 top, 6 between rows with nothing set right.

So would be two ways to "fix" this visually, move the "(might expose driver bugs)" warning to its own Gtk label, or figure out a way to add a line break to the overly long label for the GtkCheckButton--I think that can be done. Adolfo?

Either should relax the width truncation of the frames at the dialogs default width, I don't think we'd want to make the width any wider as it would look bad and consume too much screen.
