Change the Unit of Measurement option, perhaps just temporarily, to centimeters or another unit. Options are set with OpenOffice → Preferences on a Mac, Tools → Options on other platforms.

MrProgrammer was faster :-)

oh you are right, the highest possible amount in the Sidebar is 99,99, regeardless of the unit. I can confirm this bug in 4.1.2!
3 workarounds:
1. do the setting by right clicking the rectangle and choosing "Position and Size".
2. or change the units to cm in "Menubar"->"Tools"->"Options"->"OpenOffice Draw"->"General"
3. or use LibreOffice

sorry but nothing helps ... or I don't understand well

I can't change the lengths or heights more than 99.99 even by clicking on the rectangular

by the way are you sure about "position an size " ?
