Description Miklos Vajna 2016-04-15 07:46:07 UTC
See the attached test document. It has a double border. Given that both the inner and the outer border are 0.03cm, the rendering result on the screen should be (at 130%, assuming 96 DPI) ideally around 1.47 pixels, so realistically 1 pixel wide, ignoring anti-aliasing.

Expected result:

Two separate lines, each 1px wide.

Actual result:

A single line, 5px wide.

Comment 2 Miklos Vajna 2016-04-15 07:59:47 UTC
Given that we have a long history of introducing regressions with fixing border rendering, I'm trying to collect what I found in the bugzilla and git history that's related to this problem:

1) OOo and LO 3.5 used to render two separate 1px-wide lines. That matches the ideal result and if the rendering changes, I consider that a regression.

2) It seems OOo didn't use drawinglayer for border rendering, so parallel debugging OOo and LO master doesn't make sense.

3) The last time the rendering was correct was before Kohei's 2c62596cf264ef10749d8bfdb2bb2ebef2d98fbc for bug 75260, but that commit is needed, as in general we do not want the double-thin behavior for ODF double borders. It was just an accident that for the bugdoc it resulted in correct rendering behavior.

One detail that looks problematic in that commit is the +1.0 in makeSolidLinePrimitive(), as adding a hardcoded number can't be correct: it will have a different result when the input is 15 twips or 1 pixel (the result will be 16 twips or 2 pixels, which are different widths on the screen).

Avoiding that +1 gives us two lines instead of one: a 1px one and a 2px one (width).

4) Another commit is Moggi's 2c91cb08d65cd35fa8ef6eaca3677aa82fb58cbe for bug 33634, which changes ints to doubles in svx::frame::Style. With that, it's possible that e.g. with a 22.480221 offset the 1.47 width becomes 22.480221 -> 23.950220999999999, which gets rounded to 22 -> 24, and the result is a line of 2px width.

I guess the way to fix that is to detect the situation in vclpixelprocessor2d, and do pixel correction of the border polygon there.

Note that the document has a double border type, both Excel import and the UI can only create double-thin border type, so the problem is specific to legacy ODS files.
