--- Comment #27 from spokanemagn...@gmail.com ---
The screen size and/or zoom level might be a factor, as I always use the page
width setting with the sidebar minimized for maximum work space (i.e., 156%,
versus with sidebar when needed at 119%). Either working with the sidebar
permanently opened or reducing the zoom level to 100% was something I was going
to play around with later today.
Since I got onto this idea of line spacing being a possible cause, as setting
the line spacing to "Fixed" and then selecting a value at least 2 points over
the font size does seem to greatly reduce the occurrence of the text tearing
issue (but it does not completely eliminate the problem, even with the margins
and tabs all being evenly divisible by the line spacing setting (or divisible
by a number such as 7.5, which should leave no rounding errors). In my reading
up on the subject, I found this tidbit of information online that says that
prior to the 4.2 release, LO used to allow users to set line spacing to 1/10th
of a point (1/720th of an inch), but now you can only set it to the nearest
point. Apache OpenOffice apparently still allows for 1/10th of a point. I have
no idea if this is significant or not, but if the problem only arose after that
release, then perhaps it is.
One update. I had mentioned that documents that were originally written in Word
before being converted to Writer, did not ever exhibit the text tearing issue;
however, I was editing one such document yesterday and it started doing so--and
doing so virtually every time I scrolled up or down, even if just a few lines.
That document had line spacing set a "Single".
BTW, is "Use superordinate object settings" really necessary if a document is
completely written in one language, or is it used in Writer (don't recall ever
seeing it in Word) to facilitate writing on an axis other than 90-degrees? I
experimented with setting that to left-to-right, but to no avail with regards
to the text tearing issue.
