Libreoffice on F36 quirk in auto-correct control window

[Tim]

Does anyone else notice this happen in LibreOffice (7.3.7.2) on Fedora
36:

Open the AutoCorrect options (in an AutoCorrect sub-menu in the Tools
menu).

Click on any of the tabs, or use the scroll wheel on the mouse, and the
options window gets wider and wider each time you do that.

Various other interactions with the window cause the same effect, as
well.  And you can't grab the edge of the window with the mouse and
resize it smaller again.

I assume you mean LibreOffice Writer....  I also have 7.3.7.2 on
Fedora 36, in my case using KDE, and I do not see the described
behavior.  No apparent error in my case.

Yes, sorry, it was the Writer word processor part of LibreOffice.

This is on Mate spin, quite basic installation.

Yes, I noticed this a while ago.  It's very annoying.

I'm currently using Fedora 36, LibreOffice 7.3.7.2, like you. But I 
noticed this in older versions of Libreoffice, can't remember when it 
started, but it's been months, so perhaps from the time I updated to 
Fedora 36 (or even before).  I'm using Cinnamon as desktop, not Gnome.
