Bug ID: 101895
Summary: Paragraph Dialog Units Changed to "ch" and "lines"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: c36489be617be3e8ca25612d29afb221bc7ae6c1
CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Linux 3.16; UI Render: default;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
Repro Steps:
1. Open writer;
2. Format -> Paragraph
Observed:
Notice that units are now "ch" by default instead of the units you generally
use/expect with your system. Through 5.2 my default units are American Standard
so I would see just 0.00" (" represents "inches"). I have no idea how how to
equate "ch" to inches.
Expected: Units would be based on locale and be consistent with other settings.
I just checked MS Office 2010 and it bases indent on system units so I see
inches - zero clue how I'd know if interop was right if I imported something
from Word that I knew was 1.25" and converted to some X ch
ALSO: This might be a separate bug but I was told to keep it in one
Repro Steps:
Same as above
Observed: "Above the line" and "below the line" now measured in "lines"
Expected: Either stick with metrics of system (again for me inches)_or move to
"pt" which is what Word apparently does.
These two issues make interop quite tedious
