Description: Objects with aspect ratio 1:1 (squares and circles) are distorted when spreadsheet is edited. For example, square ( Insert → Shape → Basic Shapes → Square ) with a side length of 10cm can occupy space of 1007x1042 pixels (instead of 1042x1042). This issue also affects images, charts, QR codes, and probably all other graphical elements. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a square ( Insert → Shape → Basic Shapes → Square ) 2. Take a screenshot 3. Use a graphics editor to determine how many pixels of height and width square in screenshot has Actual Results: Height and width of square differ. Expected Results: Square should have sides with equal lengths. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Writer and Draw do not exhibit this issue. When graphical elements are exported into PDF format, their aspect ratio is correct. Resetting user profile or disabling hardware acceleration of graphics output does not help. I replicated this problem in Linux Mint 20.3: LO 7.1.7.x and LO 7.2.5.2 Linux Mint 20.2 (liveDVD): LO 6.4.7.2 Windows 10 21H2: LO 7.2.5.2

@Regina You might be interested.. Also in 4.4.7.2 and in 4.0.0.3

Only a poke, based on the fact that it does concern Calc and it might be important for good/reliability impressions. Charts/Images being often present in Calc. OTOH: problem being there for long time.. and you can spend budget only once.. Another question is who might know.. This is an rendering problem, so first name on my list would be Armin..
