            Bug ID: 118305
           Summary: Optimisation of the use of the device's available
                    screen surface
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ricky.tigg at gmail.com

Description:
Modern office suite aimed for optimal productivity –as it seems to me
undoubtedly the case regarding the product Libreoffice– should tend to make an
optimal use of the device's available screen surface. 

The present report is illustrated here by focusing on a random case –here the
tool Special Characters (no application short-cut available (e.g 'Ctrl +
CC'))–.

Steps to Reproduce:
>From menu Insert, select Special Character; Plural form seems to me accurate
(Opened window's title bar 'Special Characters' just does it that way).

Actual Results:
Attempt to invoke expansion of the tool-window to full screen by action of
double-left-clicking title-bar is not implemented.

The surface of Characters' area is presently not adapted for the visualisation
of an optimal number of characters, Then –manually– increased window size do
not benefit that number. 

Both sections, Recent Characters and Favourite Characters, are currently
displayed persistently, which affects as well the  optimization of the screen
surface.

Time needed to search for a new character –e.g. LEFTWARDS ARROW OVER RIGHTWARDS
ARROW (H: 21C6; D: 8646)– speaks for itself. once selected (is individually
displayed on blue background) and Font list is clicked, the
right-sided-character section –which displays information related to character–
displays irrelevant information while scrolling throug the font list



Those aspects comined do certainly affect negatively productivity.

Expected Results:
A feature associated to each section, Recent Characters and Favourite
Characters, aiming to hide/display their contents would be appropriate. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
