I would say that the KDE file dialog was not meant for such a long extension 
list. So at least there is a bug there, as the file dialog should avoid 
overwide filter entries.

However I do not think that it will be done for KDE3, as for example KOffice 
is making dirty tricks with the filter list, so I suppose that, internally, 
we cannot have suddenly two filter lists: a list with the long uncensored 
filter names and a list of squeezed filter names.

So until KDE supports the needed feature, I would think that OOo should avoid 
to create such wide entries.

Have a nice day!
