bullet misaligment

When increasing the bullet size, vertical alignment of the bullet with text is off when using one of the two default arrows bullets. The arrows isn't centred with the text (obvious look at the "wings" of the arrow). See screenshot attached

This happens even below 100% size (obvious from 60%). I have changed fonts to try but it has no effects.

The alignment looks good for all other default bullet points so I think the settings needs adjusting only for certain shapes (I think those shape that have a "vertical centre" like arrows) and it is not a global problem.

This is also a common issue with Powerpoint and a few people create a hack to solve. http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/PowerPoin... http://www.brandwares.com/bestpractic...

Sadly no hack found for LO Impress (and well, I'm not going to start use Powerless and Pointless anytime soon!)

Using LO 7.0.3 on KDE Neon.

The misalignment was not nearly as big in earlier versions. The latest commit in Linux 50max bibisect repo has the upwards shifting much smaller compared with the oldest of 6.3 repo. It would be interesting, if someone bibisected it. I won't still call this a regression as there has always been a shift, however small.

Clear steps:

1. Open Impress
2. Add a second slide and write something to the bullet
3. Format - Bullets and numbering
4. Pick arrow from Bullets tab
5. In Customize tab, set Relative size to 150% and click OK

(In reply to Timur from comment #4)
> Please attach sample document and put different large arrows in it.

So that sample document corresponds to screenshot attachment 167396 [details].

Dear Gauthier,

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!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
