Description: In Writer and Calc, the "Spacing" value in "Format | Character | Position" dialogue box is limited to the minimum value of -2.0pt. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Writer or Calc document 2. Select a few characters 3. Choose "Format | Character | Position" 4. Enter a Spacing value lower than -2 pt, e.g. -10pt 5. Tab away from the Spacing text box or select OK Actual Results: The Spacing value is raised at the minimum value of -2.0 pt Expected Results: The Spacing value should remain as entered or capped at a much lower value (100pt?). Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Previous versions (before 5) had no limit (or a much higher limit). There seems to be no upper limit (a value of 1000pt is accepted): A much larger minimum limit (or no limit) is important for leaflets or similar in which large font sizes are often used (72pt and above) and where a tracking of -2 pt is practically ineffective.

In version 4 it was named "condensed" and the limit had been relative to font-size, about 1/6.
