See attached image.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Tools > Customise > Toolbars, and click Add.
2. Move to a toolbar that does not have enough elements to fill the pane, e.g. Data. Now back to something that has, e.g. Application.
3. Keep switching between toolbars.
4. Watch the commands pane gradually shrink and then disappear.

2. Move to a toolbar that does not have enough elements to fill the pane, e.g. Data. Now back to something that has, e.g. Application.
3. Keep switching between toolbars.
4. Watch the commands pane gradually shrink and then disappear.

Current behavior:
The pane shrinks for toolbars with fewer elements and then stays shrunk when going to a toolbar with more elements.

Expected behavior:
The pane remains the same size regardless.

Also not reproducable on 3.4.5 Ubuntu build on oneiric.

This seems to be a regression between oneiric->precise in either Ubuntus theme or stack (gtk?)

resolving here as not our bug.

Of course, it could well be that it is a bug in the libreoffice gtk-vcl plugin which only shows with recent versions of gtk. In that case, please reopen.

@Fedora, SUSE user: Can you reproduce this with a very new gtk? The issie is visible here with gtk+-2.24.10-0ubuntu4

If I'm not wrong, LibreOffice 3.5.0 is default in Ubuntu 12.04.

Thank you. However,
a) Executing the command you posted does nothing.
b) "ubuntu-bug libreoffice" does not work either.

Satchit Bhogle, quoting from https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa :

"...any release of a different major.minor release as the one released with the series
are only for testing proposes (esp. for testing the package without updating the whole system)."

Hence, this PPA, and PPAs in general, are not considered a Ubuntu supported repository. Despite this, I'm happy to try to reproduce the problem in a Ubuntu supported repository. In order to do so, could you please attach to this report a recording of it via the recordmydesktop package?

Unfortunately, recordmydesktop records tearing video, in which this bug cannot be seen.

I can confirm this with official precise package - 1:3.5.0-1ubuntu4

Simply reproduced while scrolling though the selection list.

I thought the only affected the Add Toolbar dialogue, but ricotz shows that it also affects the Customise Toolbar dialogue (on both Menus and Toolbars tabs).

Also doesnt happen when removing libreoffice-gtk, so clearly an issue in changes done between oneiric and precise in the gtk stack.
