Sample odt exhibiting the problem
I'm helping a (potential) new localizer with this issue, neither of us have
much experience in filing non-l10n bugs so apologies if we miss out something.
Larry's problem description follows:
I've attached a sample file to be used for tracking down the formatting problem
I've hit when opening some existing .ODT files in LO 4.1.1.2. The file is 43
pages long. It functions normally in AOO 4.0
When I open the file in LO, the status line initially indicates it's 60+ pages
long. After about one minute it changes to 43 pages and displays correctly.
However, if I attempt to add any text in the first part of the document, some
text further along in the document page-wraps unnecessarily, and the status
line updates, reflecting the fact that the document now takes up more pages.
The problem seems to have to do with some of the text boxes and frames with
graphics in them, which are attached to paragraphs so they will always stay
with the associated text when editing makes the document either longer or
shorter.
How to reproduce:
1- Go to p.3 of the document and insert 6 or 7 blank lines in between one of
the paragraphs, until the text box near the bottom of the page wraps to the
following page. You'll see it superimposes over the graphics frame on p.4
(which is not in itself a problem, as they can be repositioned manually).
However, the graphics frame gets squashed down and the drawing disappears.
Simultaneously, the document gets longer due to the aforementioned, unnecessary
page wraps.
2- Now go back to p.3 and delete the inserted blank lines. The text and text
box wrap back onto p.3 where they originally were, BUT the graphics frame
remains deformed and the drawing is still gone, even if you manually resize the
frame to make it big enough to accommodate the drawing.
ALSO, the unnecessary page wraps further along in the document remain, and can
only be corrected manually as follows: The only way I find to get the text to
wrap properly again is to select and "cut" the first box or frame on the page
following the incorrect wrap. As soon as that box or frame is cut out, the
text wraps properly. Then the box or frame can be "pasted" back in place and
does not again force the unnecessary wrap. One can work through the rest of
the document in that way, cutting and pasting the offending frames. But that
is very cumbersome and should not be necessary!
NOTE: If I open the document in AOO and go through the same procedure the text
& text box wrap from p.3 to p.4 and the text box may overlap the graphics frame
but it does not distort it nor does the drawing disappear. Also, there is no
unnecessary page wrap further on; the status line continues to indicate the
document is 43 pages long. AND if I go back to p.3 and delete the inserted
lines, the text and text box wrap back onto that page and the document is the
same as it was when first opened.
