F30 with Xfce
Screen size 1280 x 768
The dialog goes from just below the top panel to below the bottom of the
screen so the print button is lost.
I cannot resize this dialog. It is locked. I cannot get it to move up
the screen (releases ago I had a similar problem and there was some
magic key combination to make this possible?)
There are only 2 tabs on the top of the dialog for General and
LibreOffice Writer. Back in F30 there were 4 tabs and the dialog box
was much shorter.
I cannot find any way to configure this dialog nor move it around.
And I need to print something...
Help?
I've had this problem with some X11 apps ported from SGI and designed for larger
screens, both on laptops of the day and using a projector. Years ago the fix was
to configure X with a virtual desktop larger than the physical screen. These days
it is called a panning viewport:
$ xrandr --output VGA1 --rate 60 --mode 800x600 --fb 1280x1024 \\
--panning 1280x1024
workable for people who were familiar enough with the app to know were to look, but
a PITA for student workshops with a room full of laptop 1024x768 screens. I think
it was necessary to use 8-bit color to avoid running out of memory for the virtual
desktop.
