------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Nov 8 08:12:14 +0000 2010 ------- First remark: This seems to be a "bug with tradition", possibly going back to OOo 1.0.1 (bug 9858), probably also described in bug 64669. I first noticed the bug when inserting a "right arrow" from the symbol font caused an extra blank line to appear. Investigating further (first I had suspected a bad font), I found that other changes in a line (like adding a formula object) also causes an extra line to appear. At some moment I realized that "regiter-true" (German: Registerhaltigkeit) causes this effect. I think the algorithm is very bad: The idea is to make lines on opposite pages appear side-by-side in a maximum number of cases. This could be done by adjusting inter-paragraph vertical spacing, inter-line spacing, etc. OOo still seems to prefer adding one empty line in the middle of a paragraph over making a small adjustment that reduces the inter-line spacing. An annotated screen shot will make things more obvious (I added red corrections where empty lines should go away, and I added green alignment marks where I guessed OOo will force the alignment. I used GIMP to move lines to positions that I'd prefer for another "screen shot". I'll provide two sample documents, one using formulas, the other a "right arrow" from the Open Symbol font (should work with similar symbol fonts as well). Summary: very bad formatting choice, can't understand why this bug existed for so long. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
