Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 30997
horizontal scroller position
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:32:51 UTC
The horisontal scrollbar is too wide by default in Calc and Impress. Tot all tabs are shown. Look at the pictures. PS In MSO they are smaller and that should OOo also do.

I can see how the scrollbar is too wide to display all the tabs in this particular example, but that is because you have chanaged the set of tabs. For the default set of tabs (sheet 1 -> sheet3), the scrollbar does allow plenty of space for them to be displayed properly. Obviousely if you change to tab names to something longer, you might have to make the scrollbar a bit smaller to accomodate this, which is not a problem, since this can easily be done. In the example of how you think it should be, the scrollbar is too narrow to be useful, and most of the space is wasted, even with your lenthened set of tabs. Surely it would be more sensible to make the scrollbar by default a sensible size to accomodate the default set of tabs, since the default scrollbar length always appears in conjunctiion with the default set of tabs.
ed2, I work with pricelists with many tabs in it. And I have every time to smaller the scrollbar. This is the most annoyance in OOo for me. As you can see in my "should be" there are more tabs. They are just hidden to the left. And anyway the scrollbar does it's function even in my "should be". Excel has smaller scrollbar, BTW, than OOo's default size.
