Description Gordon Patnude 2023-02-24 01:38:36 UTC
Description:
I HAVE A TABLE, 2 COLUMNS, 2" HIGH X 3.5" WIDE, WHICH FILLS A FULL PAGE OF BUSINESS CARD STOCK, AND IS 2 PAGES LONG, THE FIRST PAGE IS THE FRONT OF THE BUSINESS CARD; THE SECOND PAGE IS THE BACK OF THE CARD [DOUBLE-SIDED CARD].
WHEN THE RULERS ARE "ON" THEY ARE DISPLAYED ONLY ON THE FIRST PAGE IF THE CURSOR IS NOT IN THE SECOND PAGE; THE SECOND PAGE IS OTHERWISE CORRECT.
NOT SURE IF THIS IS A BUG OR AN ENHANCEMENT; PERSONALLY, I THINK IT'S A BUG!!!

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  OPEN NEW DOCUMENT
    SET PAGE MARGINS TO 0.50 TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT AND RIGHT MARGINS
2.  CREATE TABLE WITH 2 COLUMNS AND 10 ROWS
3.  SET DIMENSION OF COLUMN HEIGHT TO 2 INCHES
4.  SET VIEW TO 'RULERS ON'
5.  SCROLL TO PAGE 2

Actual Results:
AS I DESCRIBED, TABLE IS 2 PAGES, AND LEFT MARGIN RULE IS ONLY VISIBLE WHEN CURSOR IS ON THE PAGE BEING VIEWED.

Expected Results:
HOPED THAT RULER WOULD BE VISIBLE


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
RULER SHOULD APPEAR AT ALL TIMES WHEN SIMPLY SCROLLING PAGES TO VIEW BUT NOT TYPE

Hi Gordon

The rulers are only shown for the active page.

This can be demonstrated with:

0. Open Writer
1. Insert 4 page breaks with Ctrl + Return
2. Use "book view" in the status bar
3. Turn all rulers on in View > Rulers
4. Scroll to the top of the document

Result: no visible vertical ruler; horizontal ruler is on the left.

This has already been reported in bug 102741.
