Does anyone else have this?
I have a test build and when I try to change the menus (remove the 'about' from the 'help' menu and the 'preferences' from the 'tools' menu), I do not see an OK or a cancel button.
It looks like some of the window is cut off at the bottom. I can make a screenshot if you'd like. It might be due to me using the Dutch language pack or something.
If I just close the window, it cancels. If just hit 'enter' it takes in the changes...
Best wishes,

I cannot reproduce this. What happens when you launch the System Preferences application, click on the International icon, select the Language tab, move English to the top of the list, and restart NeoOffice? Do you get the same problem?
Yes, the problem stays. I sent a screenshot to your planamesa address.
I am wondering if it is because my iBook only has a 768 pixel vertical resolution. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

Yes. The resolution what triggers this bug. If I set my screen resolution to 1024 x 768, the Tools :: Customize menu's dialog is too tall for the screen and so the OpenOffice.org code shrinks the height of the dialog to fit on the screen and clips off the buttons at the bottom.
Can you file a bug for this? It is a real bug as I cannot reproduce it in OpenOffice.org 3.0 and, I suspect from the excessive vertical space between the 4 buttons in the dialog, the cause is that the "minimum height" value of the Aqua buttons that we are returning to the OpenOffice.org code is forcing the dialog to taller than it really needs to be.

I have more information on this. I can now reproduce it in OpenOffice.org 3.0 if I set the screen resolution to 800 x 600. Basically, the OpenOffice.org 3.0 dialogs do not adjust their layout when the screen bounds are not big enough to fix the desired dialog size.
So, to fix this, I would have to fix the hardcode OpenOffice.org 3.0 layout code for this particular dialog. I will see if this is possible as we should support at least 1024 x 768 screen resolution with a moderately sized Dock.
