Description René Genz 2015-07-29 19:33:32 UTC
LibreOffice -- Tools -- Options... -- LibreOffice -- Memory -- Graphics Cache: Use for LibreOffice:

starting with 2,048 MB the "Memory per object" value drops from 20 to 1 ; while you are in the menu you can go below 2048 MB and increase memory per object


- Mac OS X 10.10.4 & LO 4.3.7.2: 'Use for LibreOffice' value capped at 256 MB, so no problem with 'Memory per object'

- Fedora 22 x86_64 & LO 4.4.4.3-6.fc22:
  2,048 MB lead to 'Memory per object' of 1.0 or -2,048.0 MB
  if value of 'Use for LibreOffice' is increased, values for 'Memory per object' increases

- Mac OS X 10.10.4 & LO 4.4.4.3: same bug as Fedora 22
- Mac OS X 10.10.4 & LO 4.4.5.1: same bug as Fedora 22
- Mac OS X 10.10.4 & LO 5.0.0.3: same bug as Fedora 22

Please, could you be more explicit in what you find wrong in the current behavior of this dialog.

Best regards. JBF

For certain value ranges for 'Use for LibreOffice' the value of 'Memory per object' is changed automatically.
If 'Memory per object' value is changed, only two values are possible for 'Memory per object'. Either 1 or a negative value. This limitation is wrong in my opinion.
For certain values 'Use for LibreOffice' and 'Memory per object' is trimmed. Depending on the value it is trimmed to different values. If you have to trim, it should trim to the same values.



I am using Mac OS X 10.10.4 (4 GB RAM) & LO 4.4.4.3 for the following examples:
Use '2048' for 'Use for LibreOffice'.
This will automatically change value of 'Memory per object' to '1.0'.
Furthermore, you can toggle the value of 'Memory per object' only between '1.0' or '-2048'. You can use the arrow buttons or click in the textbox for 'Memory per object' and use the arrow up/down keys on the keyboard to toggle the value.

If you change the value of 'Use for LibreOffice' to '2050' the value of 'Memory per object' can be toggled only between '1.0' or '-2050'.

Click [OK] and reopen the same menu.
'Use for LibreOffice' is set to '0'.
'Memory per object' is set to '1'.



As a different example use '9999' for 'Use for LibreOffice'.
This will not change value of 'Memory per object'.
Set 'Memory per object' to '999'.
Click [OK] and reopen the same menu.
'Use for LibreOffice' is set to '1807'.
'Memory per object' is set to '256.0'.



As a different example use '5000' for 'Use for LibreOffice'.
This will not change value of 'Memory per object'.
Set 'Memory per object' to '800'.
Click [OK] and reopen the same menu.
'Use for LibreOffice' is set to '904'.
'Memory per object' is set to '256.0'.
Why is the value of 'Memory per object' not changed automatically in this example?

Ok, I see and reproduce the problem in LO 4.4, LO 5.0.1.0+ and the master. Thank you for the bug report.
The limit to 256 MB for the cache size has been removed in LO 4.4.

I tested with LibreOffice 5.2.1.2 on Fedora 24 x86_64, Mac OS X 10.10.5, Windows 7 32 bit:
'Use for LibreOffice' and 'Memory per object' have an upper limit of 2,047 MB

problem solved, thank you :)
