<div>
<pre>At least in Mageia Linux the width of a LibreOffice window cannot be smaller
than the length of the menu bar.
To replicate, open a LO component and reduce the width of the window. It can be
reduced to the full size of the menu (not tool) bar, but not farther. If
resizing before LO has loaded completely it is possible. However, as soon as
the menu bar appears the window is resized to accommodate the bar.
This behaviour appears in both Mageia 6 with LO 5.4.3.2 and Cauldron (Mageia 7)
with LO 6.0.2.1.0. I have tried it in both my main DE (Enlightenment) and IceWM
with the same results.
The expected behavior, of course, is that items on the menu bar will simply be
covered over/disappear as the width is reduced which I have seen in a Windows 7
installation.
Things that I have tried in Mageia:
1) Changing the theme: this problem appears with the Vertex and Adwaita themes
(light and dark in both)
2) Removing the Spanish language pack: the problem appears with US English as
well.
I have not tested this with Plasma or LXQt.
For English language installations this is not much of a problem, but I have my
systems set up in Spanish with the Anaphareus extension to LO Writer. It adds
itself to the menu bar and now prevents me from reducing window size below
about 60% of the screen width. I suspect there may be other languages for this
will be a problem as well.</pre>
