Created attachment 199009 [details] forum-mso-en-3023.docx: a unique way of indicating a fillable form with dot leaders This fillable form has a fairly nice default look where dot-leader tabs filled the "box area" as both a clear indicator that nothing was provided yet as well as showing how much space was available for the response. That is missing (except on the first line) since 25.2 (backported to 24.2.5) commit 10d753b8aadb50ec4309551b97d4cf2163ea3e3d Author: Michael Stahl on Thu Jun 13 12:59:19 2024 +0200 tdf#158658 sw: text formatting: try to make TabOverMargin more crazy Steps to reproduce 1.) open forum-mso-en-3023.docx Notice that there is lots of open space. In MS Word almost all of the space is filled with dot patterns as part of the text-fields' default text (not just the first line). Found by Collabora's mso-test
My conclusion is that this has just exposed some differences with table width (102.7 MSO vs 100% LO) (100.9% MSO vs 100% LO). By increasing the page size (so that LO tables can grow to match the over-sized MSO tables) then the dot-leaders appear as desired. Similarly, reducing MSO's table to 100% causes Word to look like LO currently does. So ultimately this is probably a CONFIRMATION of mstahl's changes.
