Description: Open a new document from a default template. Modify the Text Body style so that it will be indented by 21 cm. (Indents & Spacing > Before text = 21). Click the Apply button to apply changes. Notice that 21 was changed to 20.5. You may say that there is no need to have indents more that 20.5 cm on a A4 or Letter page, but the size of the page is actually doesn't matter. You could change the size of the page to A3 or even A2 (both of them are very large) and observe the same behavior. --- Tested with Version: 6.4.7.2 (x86) Build ID: 639b8ac485750d5696d7590a72ef1b496725cfb5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded and Version: 7.0.2.2 (x86) Build ID: 8349ace3c3162073abd90d81fd06dcfb6b36b994 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Steps to Reproduce: see above Actual Results: see above Expected Results: see above Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: see above

Mike, any technical limit for the indentation?
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) I don't think there's a technical limitation here. When you do that direct paragraph formatting, it works as intended. (By the way, comment 1 is incorrect; it tells about normal paragraph properties, and that works fine: e.g., I set page to A3 Landscape (420 mm width, 20 mm margins left and right => 380 mm text area width), and set paragraph "from left" spacing to 400 mm => it shrinks to 375 mm, making sure there's 5 mm left for the text). But it seems it tries to be "helpful"/"smart", not allowing you to produce a *style* (so it doesn't know what page you intend) with indentation that would make no sense for "standard" page size (A4 in many locales)... Generally there's no way to ensure that any value there makes sense. E.g., you could make your page A5, and then the "helpful" limit would blow. Or you could use direct paragraph formatting, and make sure that your A3 is followed by A4, so the text using those paragraphs with 375 mm indentation flows there and blows. Or you may use different margins. Or ... I suppose that to be a bug. The "helpful" "feature" is not bulletproof to justify its existence; and it's unhelpful for those who use non-default pages. I confirm it.

Heh, interesting - that would be a different bug, please file :-)

Dear John, 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 Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
