Description: In a text box, when using a low value for line spacing, the text disappears entirely. This was observed in Impress, Draw, Writer and Calc. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a LibreOffice component 2. Insert > Text Box 3. Write some text in the box 4. In Sidebar > Properties deck > Paragraph section, change the Line Spacing to "Fixed" 5. Lower the value progressively Actual Results: At low values, the text disappears entirely. Expected Results: The text does not disappear. Alternatively, a specific value is the minimum the user is able to set, so it never disappears. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: It seems the particular threshold value depends on the font size, at least.

Confirmed. Interesting in that 'Proportional' line spacing will not "disapear" but also will not reduce below a 6% spacing for default 12pt font size in a Draw TextBox. Guess the 'Fixed' line spacing could use a lower limit as well. But in reality, who would be reducing the line spacing (Proportional or Fixed) to such extent that font is badly overstruck? Seems pretty trivial and grounds for a => WF =-testing-= Version: 7.1.5.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 85f04e9f809797b8199d13c421bd8a2b025d52b5 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded or Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: cb2827f5f65324f309fa0e3c30d0b19ad237410e CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

Using an example file created in 7.5, the current display issue started in 4.3. Before then, the line spacing in the text box was reset at fileopen to what looks like a higher threshold value, and the text was visible. (Tested with linux-64-releases bibisect repo to libreoffice-4.3.0.0.beta1) We have some inconsistencies in how text is rendered outside and inside text boxes when using the same font and same paragraph spacing: - text runs overlap in text box whereas they are clipped on page - text disappears at low line spacing in text box, doesn't on page Related issue: "Fixed" is now available for paragraphs inside a text box from the sidebar but not from the Paragraph dialog -> bug 145081.
