Bug ID: 106980
Summary: Touching "compatibility" options breaks rulers in
writer with MS Word documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.2.2 rc
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I am trying to work on a .doc file that was prepared by someone else on MS
Word.
When I open the document with LibO, it looks fine. The document is formatted on
an A4 page, with 20 mm left and right margin. The top ruler correctly shows
numbers from 20 to 0 mm (the left margin), then the left margin and indent
markers, then numbers from 0 to 170 mm (the paragraph space), then the right
margin marker, then numbers from 170 to 190 mm, which looks fine, because the
page is actually 210 mm wide, which is 20+190 mm.
Unfortunately, weird thing start to happen as soon as I touch the
Tools->Options Libreoffice Writer->Compatibility dialog. Even if I do not
change anything, as soon as I press the OK button, the ruler goes crazy.
now the ruler shows figures from about -24 to 0 mm for the left margin, then
from 0 to 186mm for the left margin and from 186mm to 210 mm for the right
margin, as if the page was ~ 243 mm wide.
In practice, the page width gets assigned to the paragraph space + right
margin, rather than the left margin + paragraph space + right margin.
This makes it impossible to use the ruler to decide where tabs should go.
