Created attachment 87862 [details] A picture of the compressed line of print with a correct line of print above and below. While reading a long document (50,000+ words) an occasional line (1 in 50? 1 in 100?) is compressed as if it is missing a horizontal row of pixels. Sometimes I feel that it is a line that has been cut off at the bottom of the screen before I scrolled down to it, but this might just be a fancy of mine. In the last few releases (4.0 ? ?) I could always recover the display by clicking anywhere on the affected line with the mouse. Since I installed 4.1.2.3 yesterday this mouse click no longer works. This is an irritant, but not a disaster. It has been a part of Writer for as long as I can remember, and I am only reporting it because clicking on it with the mouse no longer fixes the display problem. I have no experience of Writer with short documents. Regards John Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.1.2.3 release
I have the same or almost the same issue. In a printed document, some text lines are randomly compressed or stretched vertically. This happens in large text files, in some but not all pages. Either printing from Libreoffice writer or from a pdf file generated by Libreoffice writer. If the text is short (one or two pages) all the lines are fine, but an image in the header can be deformed. I'm not sure from where this bug is generated: from Libreoffice or the printer driver, or whatever else. I noticed too the deformation on screen, disappears when clicking on the text affected. regards Frank Operating System: Linux Mint Debian (LMDE) Libreoffice: 4.1.2.3
Hi Frank, I agree that this occasional problem occurs in long documents. All my documents are at least ten of thousands words long, so I can’t give any more useful information to discover any document size threshold. I have never had a line stretched vertically, only compressed vertically. I have had compressed lines hundreds of times, at least once every writing/editing session. Does LibreOffice use the printer driver when formatting the screen? I suppose it must do, in order to check the margins. I have never printed any of my documents myself. Of course, Windows will inform LO about the default printer which, in my case, is an HP Deskjet 3050 (J610 Series). I have always had this bug since my first use of LO a year or two ago. (An uncertain memory tells me that I saw this fault when I used Open Office several years ago.) Until LO version 4.1 the compression vanished on screen when I mouseclicked on the offending line. The mouseclick solution no longer works in 4.1. That’s why I finally got around to reporting it as a bug! You describe the same fault occurring when a PDF is printed. At my next editing session I will switch my default printer to a fax machine and see if the problem disappears.

I experience the same behavior from time to time with Linux versions. Generally I can restore a clean display by scrolling down and back in the document or by minimizing then restoring the window. Best regards. JBF

Not reproducible anymore in LO 5.2.3.0+ and current master, both built at home under Ubuntu 16.04 x86-64. Closing as WorksForMe. Please, feel free to reopen if you disagree. Best regards. JBF
