Priority: medium
Bug ID: 77484
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Writer: Tabstopps applied wrong if page margins and
frameborder are set.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.3.3 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
We need our business documents to have a background image, that goes beyond the
textarea. Due to the lack of an option to stretch the background image to the
whole page (not only the writable textarea) we are forced to set our page
margins to 0,00 and emulate this missing spaces by applying a border with
spacing to each page. (see screenshots how this is done)
Under these circumstances the following misbehaviour in calculating tabstopp
positions reveals.
Assume we need a (optical) page margin of 2.00 cm. Then we would set the page
margins to 0.00 cm and the border spacing would be set to 2.00 cm. If now a
text is written and a tabstopp is set by clicking the horizontal ruler at 5.00
cm the text will start at 7.00 cm. (see example document)
Writer seems to calculate the position of the tabstopp by adding the border
spacing to the page margin. As a result the tabstop is placed at 7cm instead of
5cm.
The expected behaviour is that tabstopps positions are *always* only calculated
from the beginning of the page margin - no matter what border spacing is used.
This also better confirms to the users expectation when clicking the horizontal
ruler (or defining a tabstopp in format dialog).
P.S. It would also be nice if an option was introduced, that allows a
background image to be stretched to the *whole* page.
