Description mango wodzak 2021-02-02 00:44:50 UTC
Created attachment 169373 [details]
shows one single frame right aligned..

If I position a frame to the right margin of a page using "frame>type>position>horizontal set to right paragraph..
all looks well, but when i try to move the frame vertically,
the frame automatically loses its horizontal right alignment..
It looks the same, and is still positioned in the same place, but the frame properties no longer show it being aligned to the right..


This is inconvenient as I often resize my documents and when doing so, the frames no longer stay on the right margin if they have been moved even just a little....

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can not reproduce the bug in,

thanks for the reply Noora.. I'm happy to hear the bug is not in version 7.2.alpha. Is there a way I myself can verify this.. I can't seem to find a downloadable v7.2 to test.. I'm using windows 10 desktop.. 

and could you kindly verify this is a bug in v7.1 .. because I'm pretty sure this has been a reproducible issue I've been having ever since i began using libreofffice some 10 or more years ago..

thanks..

You can download master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html and install it alongside the standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build.

OK. I just found and downloaded the dev version 7.2 ..
I tested this bg on that version, and it is still very much present.

If I move the frame up or down, it immediately loses it's right alignment. The frame stays fixed to the right margin, but the properties show it is no longer right aligned, but aligned relative to the left margin..

I also can't confirm it with

Mango, could you please ad informations form Help => About LibreOffice? Thank you

that's weird.. Maybe I am not describing the issue correctly, because I clearly see it here.. Let me know if I should reexplain..

Is this the info you are after:

version:	7.1.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build:		f6099ecf3d29644b5008cc8f4
Environment:	CPU threads 12; OS Windows 10.9 Build 19042

Comment 7 mango wodzak 2021-02-17 18:49:44 UTC
Let me try and explain the issue again, as perhaps I didn’t do the best job the first time..

In the attached file, if you double click on the frame, to get the frame properties, then under the tab “type” you will see the position of “horizontal” is “right”.

Now if you close that properties box, click on the frame and press down arrow, so the frame moves downward, and then double click on the frame again to get the properties box, you will see that the horizontal position is no longer “right” but “from left” by 11.07cm ..

it looks like it is still position to the right margin, but it is actually position relative to the left margin.. which means that wwhen I resize the document, I have to reposition it to the right margin.
Comment 8 Dieter 2021-02-19 07:51:04 UTC
Thanks for clarification. It wasn't clear to me that it is about the properties settings (because change is not visible). Now I can reproduce it with

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 28555fc345ac2ccdda0e4e0f3c812c646befe68b
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attachment from comment 0
2. Select frame => frame properties => tab “type”: position of “horizontal” is “right”.
3. Close that properties box, click on the frame and press down arrow so the frame moves downward
4. Frame properties => tab "type"

Actual result:
Horizontal position is no longer “right” but “from left” by 11.07cm ..

Expected result:
Should be still "right" and "To Paragraph Area"
