selecting a line

When viewing attachment 100367 [details] from bug 79602, i noticed that the cursor on a 60% proportional line height doesnt show its full length, so does highlight, or deleting characters.

Comment 6 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-07-21 16:13:22 UTC
Still present. It wont show up in the 60% paragraph due to bug 92858, but if you set the 80% paragraph to 60%, it will show there.

screenshot 4.4.5.2

When I first looked at this I did not have the Overpass font installed.  When opening the document and setting the zoom to page width (I also have Navigator opened on the left), the text in the table is rendering incorrectly.

Windows Vista 64
Version: 4.4.5.2
Build ID: a22f674fd25a3b6f45bdebf25400ed2adff0ff99

It is not as extreme in master, but there is still extra space between the last two letters in “tidy” and “why”.

I dont have overpass installed as well but that shouldnt cause such a problem that you are seeing, so you should likely file a bug report about this, as it maybe something that only shows up on Windows.

@Khaled: Any thoughts on this?
Comment 11 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2017-10-09 11:18:48 UTC
The cursor (also the clipping) probably is using the line height not the font ascender/descender, so with a 60% line height you get a 60% cursor (and 60% clipping rectangle).

So from your point of view is this a bug?

Not sure about the cursor size, there is a point in basing it on line height as the alternative (text bounding box) would mean cursor size changes according to characters in the font which is not good.

Clipping, on the other hand, should always use the text bounding box IMHO.

Dear Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired),

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://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa

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

Warm Regards,
QA Team
