Autofilter dropdown is unusable tiny
Last modified: 2014-03-09 23:40:34 UTC
Created attachment 257961 [details] Simple spreadsheet with a good and a bad autofilter dropdown. I do have the same problem as described in #699206: Under some circumstances the autofilter dropdown is so small that it's almost unusable (2 lines high and maybe 10 characters wide). I hit that problem with bigger tables but then tried to replicate it with easier data as follows. First I "successfully" tried the test case from #699206 - means that the problem happened exactly as the poster wrote there. Then I did some experiments with even easier data. The strange thing is that it really is dependent on the contents of a column. Not only the format, but really the values. In the attached test case column A with the numbers from 2-12 has the tiny autofilter dropdown. Column B instead is o.k. - with only one number changed to break the order of numbers. But recreating the order by filling B10 with value 10 or filling text into B14 makes it happen again... Strange thing. I tested it on Fedora 19 with openbox and KDE (sorry, currently no Gnome available).
I don't see a problem on my screen. The two dropdowns look pretty much the same. Any chance for a screenshot showing this?
Created attachment 258043 [details] Sample screenshot Getting a screenshot was a bit tricky... But here it is, showing both dropdowns.
Thanks. I can see why getting it that size is unpleasant. This might be a matter of gtk+ versions. > Getting a screenshot was a bit tricky... As Linus said as some point, cheap digital cameras are wonderful when the system isn't cooperating -- in his case because of kernel crashes.
> This might be a matter of gtk+ versions. Here are my installed gtk packages: gtk+.x86_64 1:1.2.10-75.fc19 gtk2.i686 2.24.22-1.fc19 gtk2.x86_64 2.24.22-1.fc19 gtk2-immodule-xim.x86_64 2.24.22-1.fc19 gtk3.i686 3.8.6-1.fc19 gtk3.x86_64 3.8.6-1.fc19 gtk3-immodule-xim.x86_64 3.8.6-1.fc19 If I can provide more infos or should test something, please let me know. > As Linus said [...] Oh, yes, a camera would have done it too! But I was able to use software only: - recordmydesktop - two instances of vlc to play the resulting video twice side by side - Ksnapshot to take a screenshot Intuitive, isn't it? ;-)
I can confirm the small window using the win32 build run under wine. The win32 build uses Gtk+ 3.9.something. Debugging it that way is a bit cumbersome, though. But at least I can see the problem.
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Wow, that was quick. Thank you!
