Description NISZ LibreOffice Team 2019-06-13 07:36:46 UTC
Description:
Space between paragraphs of the same style is altered

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create some paragraphs in an empty document
    2. Set a big space before paragraph in a style
    3. Set the “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style”
    4. Reset the “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style” for a selected paragraph with direct paragraph formatting
    5. Save the document as docx
    6. Open the saved document with Microsoft Word

Actual Results:
The space between paragraphs is the big value both before and after the selected paragraph in LibreOffice Writer view. The space between paragraphs is the big value only before the selected paragraph in Microsoft Word’s view.

Expected Results:
The space between paragraphs after the selected paragraph are same in LibreOffice Writer and Microsoft Word.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Remark:
The “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style” meanings are different in Writer and in Word. It means space before AND after the paragraph in Writer, but it means ONLY before the paragraph in Word. Therefore you can generate the document even in MS Word, the actual results will be the same.

Comment 6 László Németh 2020-06-25 16:41:05 UTC
Note: I've modified this issue only for the visible import problem. While ODT export keeps the recent fix, the DOCX export still lost the non-contextual paragraph setting, if the contextual spacing comes from the paragraph style. I suggest to file a new issue for that different bug.

Tested with

Version: 7.1.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: f6099ecf3d29644b5008cc8f48f42f4a40986e4c
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

Actual result:
No space between the paragraphs, because "Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style" is again enabled (same result in LO and in Word 2016)

=> REOPEN (but perhaps it might be treated as a new bug)

Could you attach a screenshot please?

I see in bibisect repo versions the attachment #152150 [details] docx to look like in Word on attachment #152152 [details] : big spacing is only between the Bek2 and Bek3 paragraphs.

Excellent! :)
This bug was originally about two problems: fileopen and filesave. 
The patch fixed the fileopen part as Laszlo wrote in comment #5.

I see that too, even in Writer after reload with 7.2 bibisect repo.

For the second part of the original problem we submitted bug #134385 (in See Also) after the patch landed. Just couldn't find the time to fix it :(.

Let's keep this closed for the fileopen issue and track the filesave in the other one.
