Okay, I see the problem and I'm very sorry for causing this confusion ... Let me just explain the situation briefly: I remarked the problem using LibreOffice in Ubuntu and I thought the problem comes from the options window which is not resizable. (There were similar problems with other programmes in Ubuntu in the past, with options/settings windows which were too small and not resizable). Then I noticed the same problem using LibreOffice on my MacBook. As you might know, settings windows on Mac OS X usually aren't resizable. So I thought the problems on my Ubuntu and Lion system were the same and therefore I reported the bug here (only once).

To sum up, this bug report only concerns the bug itself (i.e.: too small select lists in Language Settings > Writing Aids). I don't know how the bug can be solved (resizable options window could be one possible solution, but I think larger select lists may be the better solution). Therefore this bug report is really a bug report and not an enhancement request. I'll adjust the bug title and description on Launchpad (Ubuntu) if possible, because it is misleading and differs from this bug request.
