Original OO Letterhead and modified letterhead to work in Libre

Guys,

  This is a biggie. This is Libre OOO330m19 (Build:202) on Arch LInux i686. The table font/paragraph handling in Libre has changed from OO causing the letterhead formatting that uses tables to display what was a single line of information as a wrapped line in the letterhead. This causes the prior 5 years of letters saved in odt/ott format to print incorrectly. This is thousands of documents.

  Included as an attachment to this report are 2 ott files:

ltr-rankin-oo.ott     (the original OO letterhead)
ltr-rankin-libre.ott  (the same modified to print correctly in Libre)

  If you open ltr-rankin-libre.ott you will notice the right column containes two lines of text that do not wrap. This is how the OO file looked in OO. After switching to Libre, if you open ltr-rankin-oo.ott, you will notice that the bottom line of the right-column wraps pushing the bottom table boundary down and impacting the remainder of the document spacing.

  I don't know what is causing Libre to space the right column different than it did in OO, but it prevents the ability to recreate thousands of documents in their original form. (not good in my profession)

  The documents attached may be used freely for the purpose of this bug report, but redistribution outside of that purpose is prohibited (for obvious reasons). They should be marked for internal use, if possible.

The same issue effects entire document pagination. Pleadings previously created in OO now experiece page run-ons causing many nearly blank pages (one sentence wraps to the top of the next page) to be added to doocuments. Whatever the default change to kerning/leading or spacing is, it is the same as in the examples already provided.

Screenshot OO and Libre 3.3.2 on Windows - Same Behavior

Guys,

  I went ahead and performed a test on Windows by installing the current windows versions for OpenOffice and LibreOffice and testing whether the spacing bug is present on windows. It is. You can see in the screenshot. I have both OO and Libre open and arranged in the window so you can see both. I opened the same original OO template in both. It displays correctly in OO, but the right side of the letterhead wraps in Libre destroying the document spacing.

  As mentioned in the latest post - this effects entire document spacing -- not just tables. All of the pleading originally created in OO now have page run-ons in libre resulting in pagination problems where the original document cannot be re-created.

  Let me know if I can provide anything else. Thanks.

AARGH!

  This not only affects user created documents -- This also affect all predifined templates that ship with Libre. That means All Labels, etc. If you create a new label sheet with:

File -> New -> Labels -> (eg. Avery 5160)

the labels run off the end of the page. I'll attach the Avery 5160 example as a separate post.

Avery 5160 label sheet created in Libre - labels run off end of page

This is the label sheet created with:

File -> New -> Labels -> Avery 5160

It worked fine in OpenOffice. Due to this spacing bug, the label spacing is all screwed up in Libre causing labels to mis-print and causing the last row of labels on the page to run off the bottom of the label sheet.
Comment 5 David C. Rankin 2011-04-28 10:04:36 UTC
  This may not be limited to Libre - I just installed OO3.3 on windows and was hit with the same spacing problem in OO3.3. I have also reported the issue to OO:

http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117954

  I know for a fact that table spacing in OO3.2 was fine, so this looks like a new version issue. I have included a side-by-side screenshot in the OO bug showing the OO3.3 Avery 5160 label spacing next to the Word Avery 5160 spacing. In both OO and Libre, the label run-on extends well into the nonprintable region of the page leaving 'zero' margin at the bottom.

  As this effects ALL pre-defined label templates, we may want to bump the priority up on this bug. I have changed the importance to high.
