Windows of wirard for document and Euro converting open too small

[Nicola Jelmorini]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org2

Hi,

I use Ubuntu Hardy 32 bit and OpenOffice 2.4.1.

I have discovered the following:
when I open the wizard for document converting (menu File/Wizards/Document converter) or the wizard for Euro converting (menu File/Wizards/Euro converter), the wizard window is opened too small. This window can't be maximized, so I can't actually use it.

Attached to this bug report I send you two screenshots of the wizard windows opened.

Today I have tried to display the same wizard windows on another PC without Compiz activated and in this case both windows are displayed correctly.
So I have tried on my PC too to deactivate Compiz enabling Metacity. In fact now the wizard windows are correctly displayed.

In short I believe that these two windows have problem only with Compiz.

look for bug 149586 there is a workaround for open office wizards using
compiz.
