Created attachment 115531 [details] Draw and Writer documents illustrating line-style copy problem. I've found that copy/pasting an object between Draw and Writer introduces distortion of the line-styles. I noticed this after making a complex diagram in Draw, then copying into Writer. It may seem a small defect, however I'm using line-styles do denote specific electrical signal types and inconsistency with dash/dot appearance is misleading. Last minute testing shows that object line-styles move correctly between Draw and Impress, so it seems Writer is the odd one? FINDINGS: Draw --> Impress. No issues, object line-styles retain correct proportions and name attribute. Could copy back and forth all day with no issues. Draw --> Writer Results in a visual "compression" of the object line-style. The overall object dimensions are not affected, but the dash/dot sizing is altered. The line-style name is retained with the object. Writer --> Draw Appears ok visually, however the line-style name is stripped off. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: a. Create an object in Draw e.g. 1mm thick line, apply a line-style e.g. "Dashed", note the default has "Fit to Line Width" enabled. b. Copy the object to Writer using Paste. c. Observe visible compression of the line-style. I've included a Draw & Writer document to illustrate the problem. OBSERVATIONS: My understanding is that Draw, Writer, Impress etc. share the same "standard.sod" line-style config file, so should produce the same line-style results. However, Writer creates line-style dash/dot length and space values which are consistently 1.76 times larger than that of Draw & Impress. Also, Writer seems to alter Draw's dash and space values and makes them the same thus changing the original mark/space ratio.
