Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18956
overlapping characters
Last modified: 2003-09-16 11:33:32 UTC
sometimes when fiddling around with formatting of paragraphs/characters/pages some characters overlap. usually it happens just with a few chars, but in attached example this is the worst behaviour i've seen so far :) this document opens fine though on win2k/oo.org 1.0.3
Created attachment 8942 [details] document with overlapping characters
I also experience overlapping characters with some headings in the OS X golden master version. However, it's only on screen; they print fine.
the file looks fine in OOo1.1 could not reproduce this on OOo1.1RC4 maybe this is a repaint problem. just press shift-ctrl-r to repaint the office window set to WFM reassigned to jw
.
ctrl+shift+r doesn't help also this problem shouldn't stay after saving and reopening the document, right ? if 645m18 build 8687 is rc4, then this problem still is here. i'll attach a screenshot. i can provide additional information about software/configuration if needed
Created attachment 9137 [details] screenshot of attached .sxw with overlapping characters
Created attachment 9157 [details] bugdoc with changed font
sorry but i can not reproduce this here. i tested it on linux, winxp and solaris. i played arround with it for 30 minutes, changes page size, fonts, chracter attributes, paragraph settings and made undo/redo. the document still looks good. if i open your bugdoc it looks good on all OS'es i just saved your file on my system, i only changed the fontsize, please tell me if it still looks that nasty on your system. i will set this issue to WFM but will not close this
actually changing font helps me, too - but the thing is i've seen this problem at least twice in different documents. i'll try a clean install of rc4 and test that document again
removed oo.org, made a clean install. the file still is displayed as in attached screenshot maybe there are some other testcases, debugging options available to check what's wrong ? maybe some additional information about software versions (libraries, support binaries) is needed ?
please tell me the modell of your vga-adapter, the driver maybe your kde/gnome version. could you confirm this on another pc? this ist strange...
I Can Not Reproduce the problem in OOo 1.1 Rc4, Win Xp Pro. GF4 MX 460 32 MB, on 17 samsung monitor 1024x768 please include the graphic card data, and your resolution setting. and try t update your VGA driver first
xfree86 4.3.0 recognizes it as ati rage 128 pro ultra tf (and that's true, at least the part until tf definately :) ) kde 3.1.3 kernel 2.4.22 with it's drm for ati rage 128 agp support for i845 board. so, it finished compiling, i'll upgrade to 2.4.23-pre4... nope, didn't help (there were some dri fixes for xfree 4.3.0) unfortunately i don't have another linux workstation here, maybe i will be able to try it on another computer later.
oook. i disabled "use printer metrics" and the document looks fine. re-enabling them even doesn't mess it up again. so the problem probably is with printer metrics feature
hmmm must be system specific, because even with this feature enabled, the document looks fine here. i will close this, because this could not be reproduced on other systems. closed
reopen
ok found another bug just depending on the use printer metrics.... options. i set this here, even if the occuring error is different, as duplicate if the other issue, because i think we got a problem with use printer metrics feature *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 11191 ***
