Mmh, ok, then it'kll take some time. i'll try to get 3.4.6 into sid and testing first before I upload 3.5.1 or 3.5.2 to sid > >*Any* wishlist bug against 3.4.5 does not make any sense) > > Hm.

I guess this depends on whether the maintainer has time to deal with stuff like this itself - in this case here I mainly just forward them and close them whenever upstream did it (which might never happen), so it brings little value here. I simply have no time for serious upstream work. And it of course depends on the package size and whether it's trivial to fix something or not...

I was betting against the problem having already been corrected. In fact, if I am not wrong, your statement implies that "normal" users cannot ask for new features. By using Debian testing I would place myself among "advanced" users, yet I do not use the latest version of Libreoffice. >And still it would be better to file such stuff upstreasm, as them and only >them will eventually implement it. I won't. I use the Debian reporting system mainly because it is far quicker for me and I hope that the Debian maintainer pushes significant reports upstream. Anyway, what you say holds for any package: do you mean that wishlist bugs reported in Debian are only meaningful if they are related to Debian packaging issues?

Try in a supported and feature-wise development version. (As I alraedy wrote as a reply to your last wishlist bufg. *Any* wishlist bug against 3.4.5 does not make any sense) And still it would be better to file such stuff upstreasm, as them and only them will eventually implement it. I won't. Regards, Rene -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#663105: libreoffice-calc: list validation menus sometimes too small
Package: libreoffice-calc Version: 1:3.4.5-2 Severity: wishlist If I activate validation for a cell where accepted values are from a list, the menu showing the list values is as wide as the cell itself. There are cases, however, where this is not reasonable, and the width should be the one of the widest list item. In fact, when I set a cell to contain text that is longer than the cell's width, either because the text spills over the cell on the right, or because of text wrapping in the cell, then the text in the dropdown menu becomes truncated and unreadable. I do not observe this problem in Gnumeric, which, apparently, makes the menu as wide as the widest entry in the list. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libreoffice-calc depends on: ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libcolamd2.7.1 1:3.4.0-2 ii libgcc11:4.6.2-12 ii libreoffice-base-core 1:3.4.5-2 ii libreoffice-core 1:3.4.5-2 ii libstdc++6 4.6.2-12 ii lp-solve 5.5.0.13-7 ii uno-libs3 3.4.5-2 libreoffice-calc recommends no packages. libreoffice-calc suggests no packages.
