Description Tuomas Vuorinen 2018-11-28 12:38:19 UTC
Hi.
While I want to write something into borders and want to specify the size of the box it doesn't stay at the right size after restarting the program. I think this is a bug.
Comment 1 Dieter 2018-11-28 20:00:30 UTC
Thank you for reporting the bug. Unfortunately without clear steps to reproduce it, we cannot track down the origin of the problem. Please provide a clearer set of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the problem.

For example i is not claer to me, what kind of borders you mean: Borders of a table, of a paragraph, ...

It might also helpful to attach a sample document (Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it)


I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the steps are provided

Here is link to the video which shows the problem.
Comment 3 Dieter 2018-11-29 13:25:02 UTC
Thank you for the video. That makes it more clear. I'm not sure, but I think the problem is, that two text boxes overlap. But I couldn't reproduce it.
Comment 4 Tuomas Vuorinen 2018-11-30 10:28:32 UTC
I tried with a new test file and the same bug appeared to me again. Some of the earlier versions didn't have this problem, but I can't remember which version it was.
The problem is nothing to do with two boxes, because it appeared to me in this test file with one box.
Comment 5 Tuomas Vuorinen 2018-11-30 10:34:06 UTC
Here is a proof of the problem. Only one box at use and still the size of the box doesn't stay customized.

Comment 7 Tuomas Vuorinen 2019-02-27 15:28:01 UTC
Is there any solution to my problem. It is very annoying that everytime I need to edit my file, first I need to readjust the shapes.
Comment 8 Dieter 2019-02-27 16:36:27 UTC
Thmoas, I changed status back to NEW, because NEEDINFO means, that "the report is not complete to determine whether the described problem is a bug and we need additional information or actions from the reporter." This is not the case here.

Unfortunately there are a lot of open bugs and every developer is free to take the bug he wants to take. So - to be honest - don't expect, hat your bug will be resolved very soon.
Comment 9 Tuomas Vuorinen 2019-03-02 08:21:05 UTC
For your information: In Draw there is no such malfunction. There size of the shape remains intact even if I close the program and restart it. I don't know if it has something in common, but as I said, for your information.
Comment 10 Dieter 2021-02-08 07:32:05 UTC
Steps to reproduce (from video in comment

1. Open new document in writer
2. Insert a shape (rectangle)
3. Type some text into the shape.
4. Save as doc-file
5. File => Reload

Actual result:
Width of the shape shrinks to width of the text.

In my version 7.3.2.2 this malfunction doesn't appear anymore. I Tested it by creating a new test file and there the box keeps the size after closing and restarting the program.
