Description dsoetebeer 2012-09-08 13:21:31 UTC 
Problem description: 

If a paragraph is formatted left a framework that links the feeder is in the first line by the width of the frame shifted too far to the left. All these lines are drawn correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Entering any text that is wrapped over several lines. After the first word must be a tab inserted.
2. Menu: Format, Paragraph: Register "Indents and heels", "Before text" 4 cm, "first line" -4 cm; register "border" line array "left", "distance from text": Left: 0.3 cm
All other specifications are the default values.

Current behavior:
The first line of the text is not exactly positioned at the predetermined location of the indented text, while the following lines are indented properly on links. The first line is about the frame width links placed too far to the left.

Expected behavior:
The indented text must also be placed in the first row in the same place, as in the following lines of the same paragraph.

ODT that shows misaligment with indent + border line

Attached a document that illustrates the bug. Look at the last paragraph (first line is misaligned after tab). (LibreOffice 3.5.4.2, Ubuntu 12.04)
Comment 2 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2012-10-31 19:14:37 UTC 
hmm... the ruler indeed displays a tab stop position that is different from where the text starts.

seems it's the same in LO 3.5.3, LO master, OOo 3.4beta, OOo 3.3, OOo 3.0.1
=> not a regression

strangely OOo 3.3 formats the first paragraph of the without-border section differently (starts at 2cm) from other versions.
Comment 3 stfhell 2012-11-01 17:29:26 UTC 
Yes, it's a very old bug.
The original intention must have been that all paragraph settings for indents or tabs do not take into account any additional spacing that comes with the border frame: If you set an indent or tab stop at 5 cm, it will be 5 cm + the border spacing from the margin. It works in principle, just the "virtual tab stop" that LO automatically defines with hanging-indent-paragraphs forgets to add the additional border spacing.

The ruler is a bit confusing with frame spacing as it shows the internally "corrected" indent or tab stop positions, not the values defined in the par properties. But the ruler obviously reflects LO's layout mechanism: If you define a paragraph with both left border spacing and a left indent, LO formats this way:
paragraph indent - frame + spacing - paragraph contents
and not:
frame + spacing - paragraph indent - paragraph contents
It would probably make more sense to grey out the frame spacing part in the ruler and start the normal paragraph ruler at the real paragraph border.

The very first paragraph in the document? That would be very strange, because it has neither indents nor tabs. But seems corrected in AOO 3.4.1, where the file looks the same as in LO.

Wrong tab stop in paragraph with padding.

The error is still present in Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+

Locale: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group

Open the attached document. The first-line indent is relative to the normal left edge of the content. But the markers in the ruler do not consider the padding, and therefore have a position 1cm to the left. Because the marker acts as tab stop position, the tab after the symbol has wrong target.

After reading many reports, I confirm this bug is a duplicate of bug #125804 which has more recent feedbacks about the issue.
