Description aparan 2004-03-19 14:13:48 UTC 
*  I am using a 800 X 600 display.

- Open writer > Insert > Index and Tables

{see the screen shot of the dialog overflowing the screen}

It would be nice had the dialog is limited to screen size.

The dialog fits into a 1024 X 768 display anyway.  Can't it be spaced out from 
a rectangular form to square form.  This will work for 800 X 600 display also.

Comment 4 Regina Henschel 2004-08-27 22:00:30 UTC 
On my system this dialog overflows screen size too. I have got WinXP. My screen
is 1024x768 pixel with 125% of normal size in WinXP desktop "Properties of
View". In OOo I have set the "User Interface Scaling" to 110%. I have weak eyes
and this settings give me pleasant seeing. So for accessibility I wish, that the
dialog shrinks to screensize or is resizeable. Now I can move it with the
titlebar to see the wanted part, so there is a workaround. But when you will
work on that dialog, you should consider this enhancement.

Now in 680m77, you have the preview option, which you could leave unchecked to
avoid a preview and thereby a smaller dialog. Anyway I wish OOo should have a
better replacement for this dialog.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
Comment 7 Christophe Strobbe 2013-08-13 10:52:17 UTC 
I rechecked this issue with Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 on Windows 7.

1. I set the screen resolution to 800x600; the Insert Index/Table dialog is too wide for the screen as reported by the original bug submitter.

2. I then set the screen resolution to 1024x768 and the size of text and other items to 125% (Control Panel > Display: "Make it easier to read what's on your screen"). With these settings, the Insert Index/Table dialog is also too wide for the screen (see comment 4).

So this issue still applies to the current version of AOO.
