Description GNUtoo 2006-02-26 13:38:54 UTC
openoffice-bin-2.0.0 bug(yes it's not any more in portage but i think that could be usefull if the bug is also inside the new openoffice-bin such as the 2.0.1 and knowig that i didn't found any equivalent bug there is a chance that the bug will also be inside the 2.0.1)

bug description(minor but realy anoying):
you have a wrong "line spacing"(i'm not an english native speaker so i copy the term from ooo) you have one blank line between 2 lines instad of no line...
i included an ooo document where i copied the bug so you see it and mabe look if he's present on others ooo versions

here's my emerge --info even if it's a binary,you ask for it anyway

why not including the bug-report also inside this page http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=office: you have already the list of bugs associated with a package

Created attachment 80794 [details]
the open-office file containing the bug

this is the file that i talked about in my previous post
Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-26 13:45:43 UTC
We can't fix binary packages, we can't also fix versions that no longer exist in the tree. Reopen if this issue exists with version that are actually in portage.

what should i do exactly
*certify that my file (openoffice document .odt)under the new openoffice has the same bug=>yes it has
*try to reproduce the bug=>not done

i also found a new bug...i've posted here because they can be related but i think that should be fowarded to the openoffice team...:
*generate some text using different front names and front size
*click at the beguining of the text
*keep the right arrow pressed
*you'll see that the frontnames and front-sizes don't change inside the boxed
then do it more slowly without keeping your right arrow pressed or if you have several line use the down arrow and you'll see that theses box changes
why is it a problem:if people are searching for different front-sizes or front-names in the document using the right key:keeping it pressed...they couldn't locate any change...

if this is a stupid bug report tell me...(if the keyboard/chair interface(=me) is buggy bugreport it to me...lol)
Comment 5 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-27 01:37:01 UTC
I checked it out. The file in question has a paragraph style (0.5cm spacing below paragraph on the first line.

In general, also related to the other report, I would advise you to use styles. With styles you know what happens, and do not have to search a document for font sizes. All font sizes (and everything else) is defined in the styles.

The behaviour you see here is certainly to be expected. Actually this space between the paragraphs should be done this way, not by inserting an empty paragraph. What's probably byting you is the autocorrector that corrects your behaviour.

If you don't want this to happen (or don't have the time to learn to use styles) you can look at disabling autocorrect. The behaviour with backspace is sometimes awkward, but what happens there is that the paragraph style of the paragraph you were on before the backspace is used as the new paragraph style. As the second line's paragraph style does not have spacing, the spacing is removed when you split the lines again.

In short, it's not a bug, it's a feature. Basically openoffice allows you to specify complex formatting relations between paragraphs. This goes as far as specifying what the style of the next paragraph should be. One can for example specify that after a header, the first paragraph should not be indented, while the succeeding paragraphs are indented. Similarly one can use automatic paragraph spacing as has been byting you.
