Description epo001 2003-07-29 16:46:37 UTC

Not sure this is specifically in the presentation module but that's where I
noticed it and where the effect is most severe.

I have some presentations prepared in Dec last year (1.01/1.02?). I have just
installed 1.1rc2 on windows 98 and also on redhat 9 alongside the default
version 1.02.

In my presentations the width of a line of text differs between 1.02 and 1.1,
the font is helvetica 32 point. The width is 'correct' in 1.02/linux and
1.1/windows98, it is too large in 1.1/linux. This breaks many of my slides
making the frames too large.

If I compare the same presentation in 1.02 and 1.1 then any given line is
markedly wider in the later version, so far as I can tell all settings are the same.

Comment 2 epo001 2003-08-08 11:17:59 UTC

Is there any additional information I can provide? This is kind of a
show stopper for me in upgrading to 1.1 as I'd rather not reformat
50-odd presentations.

Simple test: in redhat 9 produce a line in impress/1.02 at helvetica
32point which alomst fills the line. View it in 1.1 - much wider. view
it in windows 98/1.1 - same as 1.02/linux

Comment 5 epo001 2003-08-11 11:25:48 UTC

I have created an attachment, a 2 page presentation made in OOo.102
under Redhat 9.

On slide 1, para 1 is 9 lines long
on slide 2 bullet 1 is a single line

Under OO1.1RC2 on redhat 9 slide1/para1 is 10 ines long and
slide2/bullet1 is 2 lines long. Under OOo1.1RC2 on windows 98 the
prsentation is 'correct'

set to new and change the target

Comment 7 christian.guenther 2003-08-13 11:39:56 UTC

This is not a bug but a changed default.

In OOo1.0.1 the formating of the text was dependung to the printer
metrics. In the OOo1.1rc the document formating is independent from
the printer metrics.
To get the old behaviour switch on 'Use printer metrics for document
formatin' in 'Tools/Options/Presentation/General/Compatibility'.
