Description bjoern 2013-02-27 16:20:57 UTC
Problem description: In a drawing with e.g. scale 1:400 and unit meter, the "Duplizieren" (duplicate?) function does not accept any x or y arguments ("Verschiebung X-Achse" / "Verschiebung Y-Achse") larger than 1,00 m - although the page size (A4) is equivalent to 84 m x 118,80 m

Steps to reproduce:
1. open empty drawing
2. set scale to 1:400 and unit to Meter
3. sometimes you need to repeat step 2 - but on the second try the scale and unit change always work out (this is a bug I know from several OpenOffice versions, too)
4. create a rectangle e.g. 1m x2m
5. evoke the duplicate function (Shift+F3) and enter e.g. 1,5m in the x- or y-shift field 

Current behavior:
as soon as one goes on to a different input field, the input is truncated to 1,00 m

Expected behavior:
The function should accept input as least as large as the paper size (taking into account the actual scale)

              
Operating System: Windows 7

Comment 1 Joel Madero 2013-03-20 17:03:02 UTC
Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version 3.6.5.2 
Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 
As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well.

Marking as:

New (confirmed)
Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work, just requires a workaround (ie. manually setting size)
Low (default, seems appropriate)

It seems like the scaling is causing the issue - if you skip that step there are no artificial barriers to size.

Could reproduce the bug with LO 3.3.0beta1. So I have set the Version to "Inherited FROM OOo".

Still the same in master 5.4.

@jani: possible easy hack?
Comment 8 Laurent Balland 2017-04-19 20:21:56 UTC
Duplicate dialog is located here:
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/uiconfig/sdraw/ui/copydlg.ui

Min/Max values of x, y width and height variations are arbitrary limited to -/+120. See:
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/uiconfig/sdraw/ui/copydlg.ui#18

Min/Max values should be recalculated at run time like in TrendLine dialog. See:
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/chart2/source/controller/dialogs/res_Trendline.cxx#323
