Screenshot of Writer with ruler problem

I just upgraded to 5.0.0.5 on Windows 8.1, and the some of the numbers on the ruler in Writer have many digits after the decimal places, with others missing:

1   3   4.00000000000001   <gap>  10  11  13  13.00000000000001 (etc)

Please see attached screencap.

strange...
I do not see that bug under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 5.0.0.4 and a recent 5.1.0.0 alpha

did you try resetting the user profile?

Comment 2 Ian Chard 2015-08-20 10:07:00 UTC
I tried removing the user profile.  It was regenerated when Writer started, but the ruler problem is still there.

In case it matters I'm running at 3840x2160.
Comment 3 tommy27 2015-08-20 12:45:44 UTC
that hi-res setting may be a clue.
did you try lower monitor resolution to see if the bug persists?
which is your graphic card? did it worked fine in previous LibO releases on the same system?
Comment 4 Buovjaga 2015-09-10 13:49:49 UTC
Does it only occur when the window is maximized?
Do you have HiDPI scaling turned on in Windows?

I can confirm the ruler display bug on my Asus laptop with 4K screen.

I can provide a screenshot if needed.
Comment 7 Buovjaga 2016-09-18 08:17:47 UTC
Mably: are you using version 5.2.x? On Windows..?
Screenshot would be nice.
Let's set to NEW.

Can anyone reproduce this error anymore?

I could not reproduce it with a 4K Monitor on:

Many years ago, I reported 101469 (a duplicate of this bug). I can confirm that I haven't seen the issue for years now.
