Description Zerstreuter.Forum 2019-08-03 13:34:41 UTC
Description:
Problem detectet on :
W10 X64 
LO Version: 6.2.4.2 (x64)
Build-ID: 2412653d852ce75f65fbfa83fb7e7b669a126d64

Problem description :

Today i desinged a Template for driving cost returning. i create a writer document with a lot of form textboxes. inside of LO i can enter value in the textboxes and all be fine. but after export to pdf the starting point of cursor, in the multiline textboxes, is in the vertical middle of the box and the second line is scrolling outside. This isnt the same as inside of LO. where is the problem ? I can send you the original odt file and the pdf to check the problem.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create writer document
2.add multiline textboxes (Form textbox)
3.export dokument to pdf (non PDF-A for editable pdf)

Actual Results:
after export to pdf : the top border of multiline textboxes is to big and the second line is scolling out because this border and line distance are bigger than inside of LO.

Expected Results:
Same view and behavior as within LO


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

My last picture shows the differences directly.
On the left side of the image, "test" stands directly below the textbox border. (Libre Office Writer)
On the right side of the image, the "test" is spaced a few millimeters from the top of the text box.
This distance is the problem, it exists only with multi-line text fields.
As a result, the last line of text in the text box is not displayed correctly or even hidden.

For example:
Within Libre Office, I can easily type two lines in the highlighted text box without hiding anything.
Once the document has been saved as a PDF, there is a gap between the upper edge of the text box and the upper edge of the text. (Attention not within Libre Office, but in Acrobat Reader)..

I hope I could explain it reasonably.

Dear Zerstreuter.Forum,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Warm Regards,
QA Team
