            Bug ID: 122636
        Issue Type: ENHANCEMENT
           Summary: [sidebar] non-pro build does not show field length in
                    sidebar panels
           Product: General
           Version: AOO400-dev
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: rb.henschel@t-online.de
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

If you use a non-pro build you can enable an option to show the width of fields
in dialogs. This option does not work for the sidebar, but would be useful
there too as in other dialogs.

Use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D do open the dialog for the debug settings. In section
'Test options' check 'Dialog'. OK.

Now open e.g Tools > Options > ... You see, that the controls have got a
background color. The color shows, how large the field is really. So you can
see, whether there is enough space for longer words in other languages. For
more details see the help of the debug settings.

I don't know, what need to be done, to make the sidebar react on this debug
setting, likely Ariel knows.

Created attachment 80968

Simple patch to force recursive child processing.

This patch iterates recursively over all children not just the top level ones.

You still have to close and reopen the sidebar deck.

Ah, in the debug settings dialog. Thanks.  Will look into this when I find the
time.

I am not familiar with this feature.  Can you explain how to activate it.

The colorization (and other visual clues) are set in DbgDialogTest()
(vcl/source/app/dbggui.cxx).

A) This function is only called from Window::Show(), so in order to trigger it,
you have to click the closer in the sidebar (just the tab bar remains visible)
and then click on the property button to show the sidebar deck again.

B) DbgDialogTest() then iterates over all child windows of the window that just
received the Show() command.  This is the SidebarDockingWindow.  It seems that
only the direct children are processed.  In case of the sidebar that does not
include any panels or their controls.
This iteration loop would have to be changed to work for sidebar panels.
