OOo plugin: Annoying resizing of Add/Edit Citation window

pbhedlund
Hello all,

2.0b7/3.0a1. An annoying issue persists for me. I have a decent size monitor so I like to enlarge the Add/Edit Citation window. It behaves nicely between invocations as long as I stay in single source mode, but as soon as I click the Multiple Sources... button the window is automatically resized to some smaller presumably default size.

Expected behavior: The window should remember its size and layout between invocations. The window should not resize when a button is pressed.

Fedora 11 x86_64, OOo from openoffice.org, Java from Sun.

Thanks,
Peter

    How do you even get it to enlarge? I haven't figure that out?

    I grab an edge or corner with the mouse and drag (just like any other window). I remember it as one of the more liberating feelings to be able to resize virtually any window or dialog when I migrated from Windows to Linux several years ago.

    You should be able to resize on Windows by grabbing the lower right corner, but there's no indication of that. We're at work on a fix.

    I got the similar problem in Word 2003, 2.0b7. When I click the edit citation and click show editor, the windows size will become longer and longer. So after a few edit, the window size will go beyond my screen and I have to manually resize it. I remember in the previous verion, we cannot even move the window. But now it is really annoying to resize the windows after EVERY edit!

    Thanks Simon. There are no corners that will drag to enlarge from the multiple sources window.

    Thank you for fixing this in the most recent update.
