Created attachment 60428 [details] Original doc file Problem description: I have LibreOffice 3.5.2 installed on a macbook running OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard). It does not correctly display bullets points, table borders and title underlining of documents created in Word 2007. 1) Bullets Points Incorrect For both doc and docx formats the bullet points do not display correctly when viewed on the macbook screen. The "black filled in circle bullets" display as "square boxes with a cross in". The document also spreads onto two pages. However, if from within LibreOffice the documents are saved as pdf files, the bullet points are almost correct in the resultant pdf files for both pdfs (much better than when viewed on the macbook screen). In the pdf files the document still spreads onto two pages. 2) Table Borders Missing When Viewing docx file In LibreOffice the table borders are present for both the doc and docx versions when viewed on the macbook screen. However, the table borders are missing from the pdf created from the docx version. It is correct for the doc version. 3) Title Underlining Missing When Viewing doc file In LibreOffice for the doc version, in both the screen display and the created pdf, the "Title" is not correctly underlined. It is correct for the docx version. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open the attached doc and docx files in LibreOffice to see the display issue. I have attached pdf showing the correct display behaviour as reference. 2) From within LibreOffice save doc and docx files as pdf files. I have attached a number of relevant files to this ticket. The original file (single page A4 document) created in Word 2007 used the default theme, bullets etc, on a machine running Windows Vista). I created both doc and docx versions of the document. These two files are: Word 2007 Defaults Basic Headings Table and Bullet Point Checks 97-2003Doc.doc Word 2007 Defaults Basic Headings Table and Bullet Point Checks.docx I created (saved from within Word 2007) two pdf files that matched the display of the documents seen on the Windows Vista machine.

Thank you very much for your report and your investigation! However, it would have been better if you would have created one bug report per issue (instead of such a mega-bug containing at least 3 separate issues ;-) ... A first remark (I refer to the numbering of issues in your original description): Issue no. 1, "Bullet Points incorrect", is a known issue with many duplicates; the main bug report for this is bug 34814. Fortunately, this bug has been fixed now; the fix will appear in the upcoming version LibreOffice 3.5.4 (and later in 3.6.0, of course). This fix should also fix your issue no. 1.
Sorry if bug not reported correctly. It started off as a simple "bullet points not correct with docx document on OSX". It was only when I started to capture output, ie pdf from LibreOffice on OSX, that did match onscreen display. Then thought I will check with a doc version, and got "different" issues. Then thought I could check in same LibreOffice version in Ubuntu 12.04 and again "different" issues. I thought however I tried to break down the issues into different bugs could cause an issue. Word vs LibreOffice LibreOffice doc vs docx LibreOffice OSX vs Linux I think all of the "multiple" bugs came about as a results of trying to provide information on the original bug on bullet points, which I see from you reply is already known and is fixed in a future release. If for the future you have any advice, I would be happy to try to follow it. It is a bit of a pain having to load documents up one at a time, and most of the up loaded documents go with all the multiple "bugs". Are the range of documents and/or output I uploaded useful, or just overkill? Would you just prefer a few words of description on each issue in separate bug entries?
@junk_2010: I am sorry if my remark (comment #13) has irritated you; I did not mean to criticize you! On the contrary, your bug report is a good sample of accuracy and care; I (and I think I can say also the other QA people) would be happy if all or at least most bug reports would be so clear, well-written and well-documented with example files and screenshots. I also completely understand that you have taken all care to make up a good and precise bug report, and I appreciate the work this must have made for you very much. > Are the range of documents and/or output I uploaded useful, > or just overkill? The count of attachments may be a matter of taste, but again, most bug reports have not enough documentation (sample files, screenshots ...), so I think that too much is always better than not enough. There is just a single point I wanted to make with my remark. If we have three issues in one report, the handling of this report becomes a bit harder. For example, I said that issue (1) in your report is more or less identical to bug 34814. This is not intented as criticism of your report (I know it is hard to find specific issues or duplicates in this database!); it is just an observation which, if right, makes the handling of the specific issue far easier: if a new report is about a known and already well-documented issue, I can just mark the new report as a duplicate of the old one. This allows to go on fast and to concentrate on the new or not yet identified issues ... But if there is more than one issue in a report, I can't use this easy solution, as marking the report as a duplicate would hide the other, still valid issues. There are more similar problems in the further process. When a developer has fixed a bug, he (or someone else) marks the bug report as RESOLVED/FIXED; but if the report contains more than one issue, it is unlikely that all issues are fixed at once. Therefore, the 'Status' field, which is important for finding the bugs needing confirmation and bug fixes, becomes difficult when there is more than one issue in a bug report. Therefore, your report is already (as said above) a good sample of accuracy and very helpful; but if you report more bugs in future, the reports would be even more helpful if you could make a separate bug report for each issue. I know that this means even more work for you, and feel sorry for that, but it would help a lot to prevent us from making mistakes, overseeing issues, etc. > It is a bit of a pain having to load documents up one at a time, > and most of the up loaded documents go with all the multiple "bugs". You are right, addding attachments is annoying in this bugtracker, and adding one attachment more than once is even more annoying. You can, of course, try to upload an attachment only to one bug report and then just make references in the text of the next reports to it, without adding the attachment again. For example, it should be posible to link your 1st screenshot for this report via just typing 'attachment 60432 [details]' (you see the number of an already added attachment when you move the mouse over or click on the desired attachment in the 'Attachments' table at the top of a bug report), or via copying the link https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=60432 from the same 'Attachments' table. In this way, you can add an attachment only once, but link it from the text of other bug reports. This is still not easy to use, but maybe a bit easier/faster. Thank you very much again for your report and your patience!
I wrote: > For example, it should be posible to link your 1st screenshot for this report > via just typing 'attachment 60432 [details]' ... Sorry, this is not clear. Better: You just have to type the word 'attachment', then a space (blank), and then the number of the attachment, followed by another space or a period etc. The website CGI will make the link and add the '[details]' all by it own. I will now look into the other issues (2) and (3) of your description, and try to confirm then. Thank you again!
From originald description: > 2) Table Borders Missing When Viewing docx file > > In LibreOffice the table borders are present for both the doc and docx > versions when viewed on the macbook screen. > However, the table borders are missing from the pdf created from the docx > version. It is correct for the doc version. REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (Build-ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b8), German langpack installed, on MacOS X 10.6.8 German UI. The table has a 1/2 inch border both in the .doc and in the .docx file (confirmed with MS Office 2010 on Win 7). But when I open the files with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2, only the .doc file shows a table border; in the .docx file, the table has no border at all. Therefore, also on PDF export the table has a border when exported from the .doc file, but no border when exported from the .docx file. So, there is definitely a problem with the import of TABLES FORMATTING from .docx files. The difference between my observations and the observations of the original reporter (junk_2010 sees a table border in both files, when opened with LibO, just no table boder in the PDF file exported from the .docx file) may be explained by the fact that the table *seems* to have a border also in the .docx file opened by LibreOffice, but the grey border line displayed by LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 is not a real (printing) border line, but just some kind of guide line which LibreOffice shows for every table which has no border.
From original description: > 3) Title Underlining Missing When Viewing doc file > > In LibreOffice for the doc version, in both the screen display and the created > pdf, the "Title" is not correctly underlined. It is correct for the docx > version. REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (Build-ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b8), German langpack installed, on MacOS X 10.6.8 German UI. The title has a blue bottom border line both in the .doc and in the .docx file (confirmed with MS Office 2010 on Win 7). But when I open the files with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2, only the .docx file shows a line below the title; in the .doc file, LibreOffice does not import the line below the title at all. -> Changed 'Status' field to 'NEW'.
All three issues are also REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2, German UI, on WinXP German; therefore changed the 'Platform' from 'MacOS' to 'All'. * But I have to correct myself, sorry: (In reply to comment #17) > The table has a 1/2 inch border both in the .doc and in the .docx file > (confirmed with MS Office 2010 on Win 7). But when I open the files with > LibreOffice 3.5.3.2, only the .doc file shows a table border; in the .docx > file, the table has no border at all. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ This ^^^ is wrong. When I open the .docx file with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2, the table HAS a border, but the border width is wrong: only 0.05pt instead of 0.5pt, therefore near to invisible. So what is wrong is the import of the width of table borders from .docx files.
Roman Eisele said: > I am sorry if my remark (comment #13) has irritated you; I did not mean to > criticize you!(In reply to comment #15) No problem. I am not irritated at all. What I was looking for was advice for the future as to the best way of splitting the report up into multiple bugs so as to best help you. The information about linking to imports in other documents is useful, that will same some effort. Thank-you. For future reference would splitting up into the following bug reports have been helpful: 1) Error with LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu doc import of bullets 2) Error with LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu docx import of bullets 3) Error with LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu doc import of Title, missing underline 4) Error after LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu docx import, save to pdf has missing table borders 5) Error with LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu doc import, no longer fits a single page 6) Error with LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu docx import, no longer fits a single page 7) Error with LibreOffice Ubuntu docx import, title now on two lines rather than one 8) Error with LibreOffice Ubuntu doc import, header text on two lines rather than one

This may be a matter of taste. Some of these problems may be related, but it often turns out only after some testing which problems are really related and which are not (e.g. the problem with the import of bullets from .doc and .docx files may have the same roots, or may not). My suggestion would be to report the .doc and .docx issues together in one bug report, if the reminder of the problem is the same; i.e. to report 1 and 2 together, 5 and 6 together, 7 and 8 together (?), but to report 3 and 4 each on their own. Other people could suggest other ways to proceed, but I think this is at least reasonable.
Thanks for the reply. Would you like to me file separate bug reports (referencing the attachments in this one) for: 5 and 6 together, 7 and 8 together, 3 and 4 each on their own. No point in reporting 1 and 2 as you have already identified them as duplicates. That would then enable this bug report to be closed off. I guess I would add a final update to this report referencing the new bugs filed. Or is it not worth it now?

Well, I still want to search once more if we can identifiy more of the points as duplicates of existing bug reports; on my first search, I did not find anything matching, but finding a specific bug report is sometimes rather difficult here (because of vague summaries, different emphasis, and even typos) ;-). I have not much time these days, of course, therefore I have not completed my search yet, sorry. If we then know that there are really no duplicates/related reports, separating the remaining issues would, indeed, be very nice. > Or is it not worth it now? It is worth it, I think, because your report and your excellent sample files have pointed out some really important problems in LibreOffice.
As requested I have split out the bugs into their own filings. Bug split filed: Bug 50185 Formatting - Error with LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu doc import of Title, missing underline Bug 50186 Formatting - Error after LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu docx import, save to pdf has missing table borders Bug 50187 Formatting - Error with LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu doc and docx import, no longer fits a single page Bug 50188 Formatting - Error with LibreOffice Ubuntu docx import, title now on two lines rather than one Bug 50189 Formatting - Error with LibreOffice Ubuntu doc import, header text on two lines rather than one Bug 50190 Formatting - Error with LibreOffice MacOS/Ubuntu docx import, title is centre aligned rather than left aligned As the bullets point issue is already known and reported I have not filed a report for that.
(In reply to comment #24) > As requested I have split out the bugs into their own filings. @junk_2010: Hello, thank you very much for splitting out the separates issues! I am sorry that I have not completed the task I mentioned in comment #23 before. But I was just too busy in the last week with other issues (our car did not drive anymore ... had to find a new one ...), therefore I found no time to continue any LibreOffice testing work. Sorry again.

(In reply to comment #24) > As the bullets point issue is already known and reported I have not filed a > report for that. Just a hint: The bullet list issue is fixed now for Windows and Linux (see bug 34814), but IMHO not yet on MacOS X. For the remaining problems with bullet lists from .doc and .docx files on MacOS X, please see the special bug 50284.
Closing this bug report, because all issues have now special bug reports on their own -- see the list in comment #24, and cf. comment #26. Thank you again very much!
