Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11773
Data source columns headings not aligned with data
Last modified: 2006-05-31 14:29:06 UTC
The column headings of the data source do not stay lined up with the data the first time it is scrolled to the right. This is repeatable. Select View -> Data source -> +Bibliography -> +Tables. Now click on the scroll right arrow on the horizontal scroll bar. The headings and the columns do not stay lined up. This is also not just a OO644 problem. It has existed for some time I think.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this. I encounter this bug once in a while, on different machines, but were never able to clearly reproduce it. Kelvin, can you attach a screen shot of the table _before_ scrolling? I suspect the bug has to do with screen resolution and window layout/size, thus it would be interesting what's your initial window layout.

I've attached two images files, one before and one after to assist. I also did the following testing to isolate the problem further. Test done at 800x600 with 32 bit colour. Originally found problem when running at 1024x768. Testing on a Toshiba Satellite Notebook. Using OO1.0 on Windows 98SE @ 800x600 machine can't duplicate problem. (No address data source, just Biblio) Using OO1.0 on above notebook WinXP Home problem repeatable. Using OO1.0 on XP Pro machine with no Address data source and only Biblio problem did not exist. Using OO1.0 on the same XP Pro machine but adding OE Address as data source and using Biblio then problem occurred. Removing Address data source from the original machine where problem was seen and problem no longer exists. Put Addresses data source back again using Auto pilot and the problem returns. Hope this helps. Kelvin
kelvin, thanks for the screenshots and the descriptions. Unfortunately, I still could not reproduce this (the dependency on the address book is quite funny ...). The only thing I noticed is that the font in my OOo 644 is different from your screenshot - perhaps OOo is also using the fonts installed by StarOffice (which is the case on my machine). So we would need a clean XP machine without StarOffice ... Marc, do you have such a machine (or an easy possibility to setup one, with a drive image or something like this) in QA?
Hi, If it helps any, I just installed OO1.0.2 on a Windows 98SE machine which set up the Outlook Express Address book. Selecting Biblio and then right click on the right scroll and the same problem. Remove the Addresses data source. Restart OO and the problem is gone. I some how think this is related to the fact that the address book is opened automatically (which by the way I don't like, but that is another issue) and then the first change to Biblio is somehow not being set up correctly. I thought I would do this test as you may have Win98SE already available. In your hands. By the way this is not a major issue. It is just a bit ugly. Kelvin
> In your hands. By the way this is not a major issue. It is just a > bit ugly. Well, such uglyness usually makes me think "loser" if it happens in another product :) Though I still cannot reproduce this in neither OOo644 nor in latest internal builds, Marc told me that we had an issue internally (fixed by Ocke) for this (Marc, I don't have the number anymore - do you?), which described exactly what you encountered ....
