Description Claudio Nieder 2017-08-13 10:56:02 UTC

Description:
I have a document having on opposite pages frames with a line which goes to the border. While in page preview it looks fine, when generating a PDF in brochure mode there is a gap in the line.

As a side note: If the print dialog is opened a first time and brochure mode is enable then closed and opened again, the preview is totally wrong, only after deselecting and reselecting brochure mode it looks right.

Find attached the ODT document as well as the PDF so you can reproduce the issue on your side.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached ODT
2. Open print dialog
3. Select brochure mode
4. Observe on the second page (holding page 2 and 3 of the brochure) that there is a small gap in the line on top of the two pages.
5. Create PDF and observe that the line is broken.

Actual Results:  
The line across pages 2 and 3 of the brochure has a small gap.

Expected Results:
The line across pages 2 and 3 of the brochure should be continuous.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: Yes, and the issue is still visible.

@Claudio:

I see a gap on the left hand side with the border line of the frame of page 2 in the ODT, cf. enclosed screenshot.

Please open a separate bug report for this behaviour.

IMO, the problem seems to be that the frame can't be positioned on the left hand edge of the page. I have tried selecting the frame and moving it leftwards with the mouse or the keyboard and nothing happens, so it seems that there is a mismatch between left hand page limit as displayed (and printed) and the limit at which you can set the frame (and corresponding border).

Possibly a DUP of 103816 in regard to frame margin ?

For me it looks though like the gap you see is smaller than the gap when printed. So there might be even two issues here.
