Description webofht-libreofficebugs002 2012-12-22 02:37:22 UTC
Problem description: Two PDF files are generated on Linux and Windows. An additional space is found at the end of most lines in a PDF file on Linux. No additional space is found in the PDF file on Windows.

Steps to reproduce:
1. The first operating system used is Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 09:49:36 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux (Linux). The second operating system used is Windows 7 Professional (Win7).
2. The OpenDocument Text (ODT) file can be found here:
https://update.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resources/govt-ict-sip.odt
3. LibreOffice 3.6.3-> File-> Open-> (the file mentioned above)-> File-> Export as PDF (PDF/A-1a) 
4. LibreOffice 3.6.3-> File-> Open-> (the file mentioned above)-> File-> Export as PDF (PDF/A-1a) 
5. Compare and contrast the two PDF files of the same ODT file. See the lines:

... [on Windows]

services at lower cost. We have already saved hundreds of millions of pounds in

6. Use LibreOffice 4.0.0.0 Beta1 and the results are the same.

Current behavior: LibreOffice on Win7 does not add an additional space at the end of each line. LibreOffice on Linux adds an additional space at the end of each line.

Expected behavior: The additional space at the end of the line should be removed.

              
Operating System: Debian
Version: 4.0.0.0.beta1
Comment 1 Marco Menardi 2012-12-29 22:17:34 UTC
I can confirm the issue as described by the reporter, XP and Debian GNU/Linux, both beta2.
I think this is again related to the Helvetica font used in the document and that is not present in GNU/Linux.
Never less the final blank space at the end of the lines should be an issue itself, since makes no sense (and is not in ALL lines).
I suggest the developers to have a look at bug #58622 also.
I've attached a very limited version of the document, with only the same text included in the description of the issue by the reporter, and the pdf produced with 3.6.2 and 4.0b2 under GNU/Linux that shows the problem, that so seems to be older than 4.x branch, and the one produced with 4.0beta2 under XP.

Perhaps problem with auto alignment, because problem gone if we press enter after end line.

Dear webofht-libreofficebugs002,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
