------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Nov 29 16:44:14 +0000 2009 ------- I thought that I had not only explained how to replicate the problem, but that I had also provided a useful hint as to how it might be resolved. I know that English is not everyone's first language, so I will try to spell out the problem more carefully. Replicating the Bug: 1. Open OpenOffice.org (OOo). 2. Open a new text document. 3. Ensure that the zoom setting is 100%. 4. Exit OOo without saving anything. 5. Again Open OOo. 6. Open a database form and see that it is correct. 7. Exit OOo without saving anything. 8. Again Open OOo. 9. Again open a new text document. 10. Set the zoom at 150%. 11. Exit OOo without saving anything. 12. Optionally, shut down and restart the computer. 13. Open OOo. 14. Open a database form and observe that it is no longer correct. Database reports will also appear rescaled. Troubleshooting: Since the problem survives exiting OOo and even computer shutdown, the misinformation causing the problem is obviously being written somewhere. 1. Discover where OOo keeps its configuration files. Hint: Under the user's home directory, ".ooo3" 2. Check the timestamps on the files to determine which are being written as OOo exits. Hint: Look in ".ooo3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office" 3. Make copies of any files that are written as OOo exits. 4. Open OOo. 5. Open a new text document. 6. Change the zoom setting. 7. Exit OOo without saving anything. 8. Again copy the files that are written as OOo exits. 9. Compare the two sets of file copies. Hint: "diff -u file_1_old file_1_new; diff -u file_2_old file_2_new; etc." 10. Note anything suspicious in the differences between files (like references to "Zoom"). Hint: ".ooo3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Writer.xcu" Verification: 1. Manually edit the zoom number in the suspected configuration file. Hint: the number in "Writer.xcu" near line 15: <node oor:name="Zoom"> <prop oor:name="Value" oor:type="xs:int"> <value>150</value> </prop> </node> 2. Restart OOo. 3. Open a database form and see if changing the number has also changed the appearance of the form. Conclusion: When OOo opens a database form (or report), it mistakenly reads in a zoom factor from a configuration file.
