Bug ID: 122203
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: With a large user-set page width, the left margin
cannot be set to values larger than 99,99cm
Classification: Application
Product: Writer
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Hardware: Mac
OS: Mac OSX, all
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: formatting
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Environment:
Hard & Software environment: 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, iMac, 4GB RAM, OS X
10.7.5
Scenario: User want to create very wide document with large left margin
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new OO Writer document (or open an existing one).
2. Using the Format->Page dialog set the page width to 300cm (which happens to
be the maximum).
3. The set the left margin to a value larger than 100 cm.
4. Confirm dialog with 'OK'
Actual behaviour:
5. Confirm the displayed warning dialog 'The margin settings are out of print
range' with 'OK' too. (I always assumed that there may be a problem with too
small margins, because the paper traction system of printers may prevent
printing to the very edge of the paper, but that's clearly not the case here,
so I wonder why the dialog is displayed.)
6. The display shows the paper sheet and the text frame, but the left margin is
clearly not set to the entered value, even though I confirmed to use the value
I entered.
7. Reopening the Format->Page dialog confirms this: The left margin is set to
18,40cm. Note that this is not the maximum possible value I can enter. The
biggest number I can enter with out causing the program to revert to a small
value is 115cm (which is reduce to 99,99cm).
A left margin of 116 cm is automatically reduce to 0.40cm.
Expected behaviour:
1. If there actually is an upper limit, the program should reduce all values
that are too big to this maximum number.
2. Since for the A4 format the left and right margin can be large, as long as
the text frame is at least 0,5cm wide. A4 is 21cm wide, so a left margin of
10,5cm and a right margin of 10cm are fine. Given this behavior I expect the
program to be consistent and apply the same constraint to other page widths,
such as the 300cm I used in the example.
A video illustrating the basic case as described above is attached.
