Bug ID: 91245
Summary: LO Line Style Gets Compressed / Corrupted After

OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium

Draw and Writer documents illustrating line-style copy problem.
I've found that copy/pasting an object between Draw and Writer introduces
distortion of the line-styles. I noticed this after making a complex diagram
in Draw, then copying into Writer. It may seem a small defect, however I'm
using line-styles do denote specific electrical signal types and inconsistency
with dash/dot appearance is misleading.
Last minute testing shows that object line-styles move correctly between Draw
and Impress, so it seems Writer is the odd one?
FINDINGS:
Draw --> Impress. No issues, object line-styles retain correct proportions and
name attribute. Could copy back and forth all day with no issues.
Draw --> Writer
Results in a visual "compression" of the object line-style. The overall object
dimensions are not affected, but the dash/dot sizing is altered. The line-style
name is retained with the object.
Writer --> Draw
Appears ok visually, however the line-style name is stripped off.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
a. Create an object in Draw e.g. 1mm thick line, apply a line-style e.g.
"Dashed", note the default has "Fit to Line Width" enabled.
b. Copy the object to Writer using Paste.
c. Observe visible compression of the line-style.
I've included a Draw & Writer document to illustrate the problem.
OBSERVATIONS:
My understanding is that Draw, Writer, Impress etc. share the same
"standard.sod" line-style config file, so should produce the same line-style
results.
However, Writer creates line-style dash/dot length and space values which are
consistently 1.76 times larger than that of Draw & Impress. Also, Writer seems
to alter Draw's dash and space values and makes them the same thus changing the
original mark/space ratio.
