Comment 13 for bug 188357

SBA: First and most important: ONE PROBLEM = ONE ISSUE!

Yes, it IS tempting to mention seemingly connected problems (...within the same
dialog...) within one issue. But this way we would mutate the issue tracker to
an ieffective discussion forum. There are other tools to do so, i.e. mail aliases.

So we will focus on the decimal seperator string thingie and disregard all other
mentioned problems within this issue.
If someone feels like writing seperate issues for the other stuff, please go
ahead and write more issues. (...Makrosicherheit button border: != Prio P5, and
no Problem on Suse 9.4 with GNOME desktop...)

Back to the subject:
Experience tells that English is hardly ever a problem concerning string length.
Spanish, French and Portuguese are more likely to have longer strings. No, there
is no official statistic for this, but it was adressed by "squeezing the UI
strings a little" for some languages.

It can be seen for this very string in French:
"Identique à l'environnement linguistique (,)" is LONGER than the German
"Dem Gebietsschema entsprechend (,)". But on the same machine there is MORE
space left after the brackets with the French UI.

But since there is no space left, it is clear that a system font of other Linux
distributions that is slightly larger will cause the problem that can be seen in
the screenshot "Sprachen.png".

Summarized:
 - A workaround is to apply font replacement so that a slightly thinner
no-serif-font is used for UI
 - Changed the Prio to P4 as it does not affect all languages and all systems alike
 - Set target to "OOo later" because there is bigger fish to catch at times and
in the near future for OS. (Note: OOo community developers are invited to fix
the things SUN developers do not have ressources for)
I corrected the summary to reflect the findings.

-> OS: Please proceed.
