objects created in Writer ready to be saved in DOC and tested...

Problem description: 

If you draw rectangle; rotate it for example 90 degree; group it with some other shapes (another rectangle for example) and save it in DOC... the shape that was rotated will no be rotated. It only happens if objects are grouped... otherwise, shapes will be saved correctly. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Draw rectangle
2. Copy that rectangle
3. Rotate copied rectangle using available option from toolbar Drawing Properties
4. Group rotated recntagle with the first one
5. Save file as DOC

Current behavior:

Rotated shape is not rotated, ie. original position is remained.

Expected behavior:

Rotated shape should remain rotated even if shapes are grouped. 
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.4.2 release

Addition info: This happens when file is opened in Microsoft Office Word (that would be sixth step to reproduce).

Hi  Ljiljan,

I cannot confirm this at the moment, but to start I make the summary a bit more clear.

thanks for reporting!

ZIP containing ODT/DOC/DOCX/PDFs of the original file with text in the shapes.

I am attaching an archive showing how the original document (modified to include text in the shape) appears under MacOS 10.6.8 running TDF/LO v4.0.3.3 and Word 2011 for Mac. I have included the text to illustrate rotation direction and how this bug relates to bug 37828. In this particular case the resultant DOCX actually appears worse than the DOC. Whether opened using LO Writer or MS Word 2011 the DOC/DOCX do not include correctly defined grouped AutoShapes, when the group includes one or more rotated objects.

Setting status to NEW, version to 4.0.3.3 (although it probably goes right back to OOo), and platform to All as a result of testing under MacOS. I have also observed the same behaviour under Crunchbang 11 running TDF/LO v4.1.0.4.

All versions exhibit similar problem with the group containing one rotated object when saving to DOC. Appears to be a mild change / improvement in handling under v4.3 and v4.4 but still problematic. Version set to "Inherited from OOo".

... and reopening using LO (not Word as specified in summary). Apologies. I do not have access to Word at present. I have attached the DOCs for someone else to test.

Dear Ljiljan,

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
