Version: 4.4.4.3 Build ID: 2c39ebcf046445232b798108aa8a7e7d89552ea Document view does not position content properly in the canvass/view - i.e. documents created in previous version, not docx that do not display properly. Some documents: left margin beyond left view boundary; other far right. Those on left remain static - can see first few columns. Those on right, I have to drag content to left to see in view.
Hi @Jacques, thanks for reporting. Please could you attach a sample file with the issue?, and this case would be also good a screenshot demonstrating the problem.
Created attachment 117667 [details] Empty viewport Empty viewport screenshot: When the file is opened, the actual document displays far off to the right. so the viewport is empty. In the next screenshot, see how far one has to scroll to see the document.
Created attachment 117668 [details] Scroll horizontally to get document inside viewport This screenshot shows how one has to scroll in order to get the document to display within the viewport.
This screenshot shows some documents that display two pages horizontally next to one another - as if they are glued. No matter what I do, I cannot separate them to that they display one below the other. BTW, this has nothing to do with the size of the viewport. I deliberately dragged the viewport smaller to show you. Usually, when pages display horizontally next to one another and one reduces the size of the viewport, the documents snap vertically below one another. This no longer happens in 4.4.4.3
Created attachment 117669 [details] Document pages seem "glued" to one another horizontally
Please could you attach a sample file with the issue.
I can't remember which file disappeared off to the left-side. But that also happens to some files. SUGGESTION: in older word processors (e.g. Ami) one could adjust the margin size between the viewport frame and the document display frame. That would be a very useful feature.
Created attachment 117670 [details] ODT document example Here is one of the documents...
I can't see what you see. But seems something strange with the document. Appears all in one page without the page break. Changing e.g. the option in: Menu/Tools/Options/Writer/View - Ruler - Horizontal/Vertical Unit. recover the page break. The same with the option: Menu/Tools/Options/Writer/Compatibility - Use printer metrics for ..... Can you reproduce the issue with a new document?
Thanks, but no change. 1. Menu/Tools/Options/Writer/View - Ruler - Horizontal/Vertical Unit. Was On. I toggled off -- no change 2. Menu/Tools/Options/Writer/Compatibility - Use printer metrics for ..... Ticked this now - made no difference 3. Can you reproduce the issue with a new document? Have only created 1-pagers, which display fine. As soon as I create a multiple pager I will post again. So perhaps the bug has to do with the display flow of pages.
1.- Please test changing the Unit from Centimeter or whatever is selected to another one.
Changed from cm to points, no effect. Changed back again - no effect. jq
Another thing to try is resetting the user profile, sometimes solves strange issues. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
Thanks Mine has always been empty in previous versions, also in this one. To test I quickly added some info - nada... :(
Are you sure?, with a new installation LibreOffice copies the previous profile if it is one. Uninstalling the progrom doesn't delete the profile. Changed to unconfirmed to allow someone else test again.
Problem solved: I deleted the user profile as per https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile -- although I also reverted back to 4.3.5 as I just got too fed-up.... Thanks for your support. When I have more time to fiddle around I'll up-version again.
Thanks for the information Jacques. Resolved as Fixed, please if you are not agree reopen it.
