That fixes the UI problems mentioned in this thread. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=5807b07161d84ef105cc1a2292c8c1f09888e39f http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=965e72d64c3e38780a69cace3f1bcc5fb35d6c1e http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a0fa723ed5761609d2c31061fdd0282a2f1df6e7 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=3a326395a48db313b907b4a35392216d7b2e2a11 Fixes for your commits: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=fef489ad0f1f14bd9f018552c47a93a80e8b353d http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b7d6bff10a85986e5e6ebfa961f29fa8b3815b40 Thanks for your reviews, -- Cedric _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
