Combo box in macro : dropdown part displaced

Hello,
I have a macro in Calc that uses a dialog with a combobox. That combobox has a dropdown part. This works perfectly well on a Windows 7 system, and as well on a Linux Mint with LibreOffice 7.3.7.2
But on a Linux Mint (6.11) with Cinnamon (6.4.8) and LibreOffice 24.2 this causes problems as the dropdown part of the combobox appears lower and more to the right than expected.
I’ve tried with an empty Calc and Writer document, same result.


Screenshot : when clicking where the red arrow is, the dropdown part shows up where the blue arrow is…
Does anybody have any idea what might be going on ?
I’ve already tried removing and reinstalling LibreOffice, but with no result.
Any help appreciated !

Some extra information : the displacement depends upon the position of the dialog box on the screen. It is nearly OK when the dialog box is placed in the top left corner o the screen. The displacement increases when the dialogbox itself is moved away from that top left corner. Something wrong with scaling of the position of the origin of the dropdown box ??

does your macro set that ?

Thanks for looking in to this, I still haven’t found any solution.

No, my macro doesn’t alter the dialog. It’s a pure dialog problem : in an empty Calc or Writer document : create a dialog, add a combobox to the dialog and the preview the dialog, click on the button to drop down the list of the combobox. Even then, here that dropdown list appears too far down and too far to the right.

Seems like that bug:

Indeed, that must be it. Best guess at the moment seems to be to downgrade to a version 7 of LibreOffice until the bug gets fixed. It still seems to be present in the latest version, 25.2
Thanks a lot for investigating this !
