But on the same machine there is MORE space left after the brackets with the French UI. *** On Ubuntu 7.10, french locale (fr_FR.UTF-8) the important part of the string is missing too. See screenshot. So this issue applies to french in addition to german. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

No reason to shout here. This issue deals with exactly one problem (broken layout) and shows two symptoms of this problem. it was adressed by squeezing the UI strings a little for some languages. Fighting symptoms is the wrong way to deal with a problem. You should fix the layout of the dialog by not using fixed positions and dimensions but use a dynamic layout that automatically adopts to translated string lenghts, chosen fonts or dialog size changes. Then you don't need to fix translations anymore. there is bigger fish to catch at times and in the near future for OS The problem does not disappear just because you ignore it. By not fixing the problem you will notice its symptoms again and again. You need to think longterm. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

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. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
