Bug ID: 98993
Summary: Rounding off entries distorts line spacing
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.1.3 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
LibreOffice (and OpenOffice.org) used to allow line spacing in paragraph styles
to be set to one-tenth of a point. However, for the last few releases, LO
automatically rounds off whatever figure is entered.
Although these are small numbers, they mean that a font is displayed in a way
contrary to its metrics. For example, an average 12 point font would ordinarily
default to 14.4 points of line spacing. However, in the recent releases, it
would display as 14 points, which is almost certain to look cramped.
This problem can be worked around by setting line spacing proportionally (that
is, as a percentage). However, this workaround requires working back and forth,
translating between percentages and points to get an exact setting.
However, if the field was returned to its earlier setting, designers could work
directly with the Fixed line spacing setting, instead of juggling two different
measurement systems.
