Description mattreecebentley 2017-11-01 22:06:01 UTC
Line width of arrows in Impress at default looks normal,
however when exported to PDF the widths reduce to almost nothing.

Adjustment of line widths to 0.04cm is necessary to achieve the same onscreen visual in export.

This is assumed to be a cross-platform bug but has not been tested outside of Windows.

Comment 2 Julien Nabet 2018-05-27 20:34:41 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with LO Debian package 6.0.4.2 (gtk3 rendering), I don't reproduce this.

Could someone else may give it a try with 6.0.4 to confirm?

Still occurs here to an extent:
if line width is set to 0.00 cm, libreoffice displays as if it's larger. Exporting to PDF is correct width (none)

What you are describing now is something completely different and I think it is done on purpose. Maybe it depends on your PDF reader, but I cannot export a PDF with the line being invisible (width 0).

Yes I'm aware it's different, almost the reverse of the first problem.
If it is invisible in Impress, it should be invisible in PDF and vice-versa.

Hmm, I was unable to make it invisible in Impress. If you want, you could email me an example file where it shows as invisible for you.
