Description ape 2013-03-27 04:03:52 UTC

Draw and Impress show the rules, whose size is greater than the size of page. For example, the horizontal rule is 4 times more than the width of page. This error isn’t in Writer.
This is an old bug, which was still in the OpenOffice.org-2.

@ape:
are we talking about ruleRs? If not please attach a screenshot.

If yes, what's the problem with it? you can place an element at x=-4, why should there be no ruler? 

In writer you can't see anything outside the paper sheet area, so it's plausible to limit the rulers

I can't see a difference to LibO 3.3.3. So why version "Master"

What is the "real problem" behind that?

Draw; page A0 for example

As an example:
 You can see that the horizontal rule sets the 3.2 meter width of the working area for the page A0. A0 is the maximum page and size of A0’s width (portrait) is 80 cm.

I can't see any difference to known behavior in 4.1.0.

And that the ruleR exceeds the paper sheet causes no problem at all, but might be a feature for some users.

So NOTABUG

@ape 
Please consider that it's not useful that you simply describe what you see. We also need information why you rate it as a bug.

Please do not change the status from NEEDINFO, it's requesters decision whether reporter's new information is sufficient
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage#Step_5._Set_Status>

Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can contribute a well founded reasoning why the behavior you observe might be a bug.

Sorry, it possible that it is my confusion:
 Digitization allows you to determine the size of the page, if the image does not fit on this sheet.
 Also Microsoft Visio works like Draw.

Thx. for research, it's good to know such details how other products work.
