Description

This bug was reported on Ubuntu Launchpad as: https://launchpad.net/bugs/490410

When resizing the main application window, it does not resize correctly. In particular, when the top or left boundaries of the window are used to perform the resizing, the application's title-bar, main menu and icons are not redrawn correctly and become inaccessible.

Steps to reproduce:

1. From the Applications menu, start one of the OpenOffice applications (Word Processor, Spreadsheet or Presentation).
2. Attempt to resize the window by dragging the top or left edge of the application window (you may need to click the application window's "(un)maximise" button (top right, next to the "X" for closing the window) to allow resizing).

What I expect to happen: The application's layout (including the title-bar, main menu and icons) should be adjusted and re-drawn dynamically as the application is resized, and then finally when the resize operation is complete.

What happens instead: The application's layout is not adjusted, and the title-bar, main menu and/or icons become inaccessible.

WORKAROUND: Right-click on the application in the panel at the bottom of the screen, and choose "Maximise" from the pop-up menu... then repeat and choose "unmaximise". The application is redrawn correctly in it's new size. (This does not work with "Minimise - Unminimise").

Architecture: i386

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10

Package: openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1 [modified: var/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/services.rdb]

I only get the redraw problem when I specifically resize the application from the top/left edges. I've not been able to reproduce the problem in any other applications besides OpenOffice (including Firefox, GIMP, Inkscape, Rosegarden, Audacity, Ardour, NetBeans, Synaptic Package Manager).

Version: 4.6.1
