Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26593
Size of check box or radio button doesn't follow the font size
Last modified: 2019-07-12 08:02:49 UTC
When I change the font size of controls like check boxes and radio buttons then the check boxes or radio buttons doesn't change their size. Maybe it is a feature - but then it should be able to customize the size of the controls as well.
Hi, controls are developed by the database team, so I re-assign this Issue to them. Frank

changing type to proper value: ENHANCEMENT

This is ridiculous, 5 years and still no patch. This issue is still present and very annoying in 3.1.1.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
I too can find no way to change the size of a checkbox. The Height and Width properties have an effect only of adding white space around the checkbox. The font size should categorically not do this resizing as I would like to have a checkbox of any size I prefer and a label of any font size I prefer, they are not overlapping properties. But the checkbox should have a property for the size of the box! As should the option button
Awesome, 8 years and no progress in simple request enhancement!

11 years and no progress. ??
I bring this topic a little bit up. Hoping any developer will grab it in future.

You can customize the size by in the "Position > an > Size" dialog, can't you? There are different cases: 1. In a form I want /only/ a checkbox/radiobutton with properties similar to a textbox: hight (=width), border, background, assigning a label. 2. A checkbox/radiobutton with text (label) (i. e. in a simple writer form) should grow/shrink with the text size. At the moment hight/width of the control sizes the contour of the control but not the checkbox/radiobutton itself.
