--- Comment #2 from John van Someren <[email protected]> ---
Hi Frank,

I agree that this occasional problem occurs in long documents. All my documents
are at least ten of thousands words long, so I can’t give any more useful
information to discover any document size threshold.

I have never had a line stretched vertically, only compressed vertically. I
have had compressed lines hundreds of times, at least once every
writing/editing session.

Does LibreOffice use the printer driver when formatting the screen? I suppose
it must do, in order to check the margins. I have never printed any of my
documents myself. Of course, Windows will inform LO about the default printer
which, in my case, is an HP Deskjet 3050 (J610 Series).

I have always had this bug since my first use of LO a year or two ago. (An
uncertain memory tells me that I saw this fault when I used Open Office several
years ago.) Until LO version 4.1 the compression vanished on screen when I
mouseclicked on the offending line. The mouseclick solution no longer works in
4.1. That’s why I finally got around to reporting it as a bug!

You describe the same fault occurring when a PDF is printed. At my next editing
session I will switch my default printer to a fax machine and see if the
problem disappears.

John

Comment # 1 on bug 70658 from Frank Sanders
I have the same or almost the same issue. In a printed document, some text
lines are randomly compressed or stretched vertically. This happens in large
text files, in some but not all pages. Either printing from Libreoffice writer
or from a pdf file generated by Libreoffice writer.
If the text is short (one or two pages) all the lines are fine, but an image in
the header can be deformed.
I'm not sure from where this bug is generated: from Libreoffice or the printer
driver, or whatever else.
I noticed too the deformation on screen, disappears when clicking on the text
affected.


regards
Frank
