Issues 'save as' folder (writer)

Hello, I just decided to give Libre Office another try this year.

The first issue I encounter is that the ‘save as’ box is disproportioned - the bottom part is too large, see the image below - and it becomes really difficult to navigate anything as I can’t find folders. There’s probably something I can do about this, but I’m not sure what.

  • I just upgraded to Win11
  • I do not have this issue with Word in MS Office (I can select an option there to reduce the bottom part of the ‘save as’ box).
  • I run LO 25.2.7.2 (x86)

Btw, the ‘hide folders’ options would hide the folders at the top left, not the section in/of the red box.

If anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate that!
Cheers, G

If you click on the blue circle with the question mark in the upper right corner of the dialog box, you will see that this is an MS Windows dialog box.


You can use the LibreOffice dialogs in the menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General under Open/Save dialogs.
