Bug Description
When you try to open a file, the Filter dropdown is not usable. All the different options turn into one single string and are not separately selectable. Because of this bug, you can't use the filter dropdown on the Open dialog. This means you can't open a
tab-delimited file with extension .txt as a spreadsheet, because if you use the open dialog without using the Filter dropdown, it always opens as a text file.
This bug has already been fixed upstream and a backport of the fix should be made in order for people to be able to open tab-delimited txt files.

Cropped contents of Filter drop-down (actual size extends across display)
Description of problem:
Trying to export from Draw to an EMF file. The Filter drop-down in the Export dialog is seriously borked; all of the formats other than HTML, XHTML, PDF, and Flash appear to have gotten corrupted somehow, and they are can only be selected together. The Export dialog in impress shows the same problem.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): draw-3. 5.2.1-6. fc17.x86_ 64
libreoffice-
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Draw
2. File -> Export
3. Attempt to set Filter to anything except HTML, XHTML, PDF, or Flash
Actual results:
All other formats get selected together. Weird error message ensues.
Expected results:
Should be able to select individual format EMF, BMP, PNG, etc.
