To replicate, open a LO component and reduce the width of the window. It can be reduced to the full size of the menu (not tool) bar, but not farther. If resizing before LO has loaded completely it is possible. However, as soon as the menu bar appears the window is resized to accommodate the bar. This behaviour appears in both Mageia 6 with LO 5.4.3.2 and Cauldron (Mageia 7) with LO 6.0.2.1.0. I have tried it in both my main DE (Enlightenment) and IceWM with the same results. The expected behavior, of course, is that items on the menu bar will simply be covered over/disappear as the width is reduced which I have seen in a Windows 7 installation. Things that I have tried in Mageia: 1) Changing the theme: this problem appears with the Vertex and Adwaita themes (light and dark in both) 2) Removing the Spanish language pack: the problem appears with US English as well. I have not tested this with Plasma or LXQt. For English language installations this is not much of a problem, but I have my systems set up in Spanish with the Anaphareus extension to LO Writer. It adds itself to the menu bar and now prevents me from reducing window size below about 60% of the screen width. I suspect there may be other languages for this will be a problem as well.

Starting from full screen width the window can be shrunk to this width, but no further. In windows, the width can be reduced further as menu items are simply covered.

So presumably the min size is that of its contents. GtkToolBar comes with a "show-arrow" property which allows the toolbar to be shrunk past the size of its contents and show the entries in an overflow menu. I see no such properties with a GtkMenuBar, so I think that's just the way it is with a native gtk menubar so someone probably needs to ask upstream gtk if there's a mechanism to achieve this, if it even is something that should be desirable. Sticking it into a scrolledwindow would just leave the excess elements unusable.

As it has done and still does in Windows. There are simply times when it is desirable to have the window smaller as when working with two documents side by side. Having access to the window items is no problem as one simply widens the window temporarily. In addition, one also has keyboard shortcuts that can be used. I would also argue that having a narrow window is likely something one will use for specific tasks/in specific circumstances and not as the default. So in most situations one would still work with a window giving access to all the items. Two factors gave rise to discovering this behavior. First, an extension that added itself to the menu bar. Perhaps this can/should be changed. I will raise that issue with the extension author, but am not sure it need be viewed as especially problematic. Second, the size of the menu being driven by the language of the UI, given that the space needed is determined by the length of the words/symbols used for the item (in this case, Spanish words taking up more space). This is likely not something that can be changed, so having the flexibility of simply covering some items from time to time will be more important in some cases than others.
