Buttons in spellcheck windows are mis-aligned. Windows XP JP, SP2, OOo 3.0 English. Start a writer documentation, press F7. screenshot: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3041/2943127271_3a872fca7b_o.jpg
Stefan, please have a look. If you can confirm that, it should be a low hanging fruit and we should give it a recent target.
SBA: I can not reproduce this. Toying with "Tools - Options - OOo - View" -> Zoom (i.e. to 80%) doe snot help. What I can see from the screenshot is - Windows XP Theme "Classic" is used. - The UI font is different from mine (see letter "g") -> maybe the dialog calculates its size based on "bad" font metrics? SBA->vuhung: Please help us researching this problem? - Are other dialogs affected, too? - What happens when you change the UI font (Tools-Options - OOo - View) (unceck "use system font")? - What happens when you change the Zoom factor (Tools-Options - OOo - View)?
SBA: Spoke to PB. He told me that PL might give a hint. Put PL on c/c.
If the font height were bad as such, I would expect all the other controls to be off, too, since we use app font relative metrics to design the dialogs. However it seems just the buttons at the bottom are off. @pb: Is there some kind of layout algorithm involved ? If yes, how does it work ?
pb: yes, there is code to hide the checkbox ("Check grammar") below the suggestions listbox: hide checkbox -> resize groupbox -> move buttons. Perhaps here is the problem. This is implemented by Oliver (os) and Thomas (tl).
Thanks for all who has replied. Unfortunately, at the moment I have no time to look into the code. But I will do if I have.
at least we should change the status as sba already confirmed that issue
tl->sba: Some days ago when this issue showed up I told OS how to reproduce it. Unfortunately, right now I can't remember anymore. I'll ask OS if he still knows or try to remember myself. But it has nothing to do with view/UI settings and the like. It was reproduce-able just with a specific sort of text and the following user actions in the dialog. It had to do with the last error in the sentence, maybe even that one was required to be in the last word of the sentence...
Screenshot available at the link provided by the OP looks similar to the screenshot attached to Issue 125531 and Issue 128296 (cf. the attached juxtaposition). With the steps described in Issue 128296, the misalignment is reproducible on Windows 7 already in version 3.0.0. Perhaps this is the same issue? (Issue 128296 was fixed for version 4.1.8).

Yes, looks like the same issue. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 128296 ***
