Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19495
changing measurement units in options dialog does not update correctly - annoyance
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:29:43 UTC
I'm using the german version of OOo from the download-file OOo_1.1rc4_030905_LinuxIntel_install_de.tar.gz on Debian 3.0 PROBLEM: When changing the measurement units in the options, all other occurences aren't updated. WORKAROUND: Close and reopen the options dialog.(quick fix, still very annoying) DETAILS(german UI :-#, so my translation in curly brackets '{}'): 1.)start OOo (e.g. ..../soffice) 2.)open the preferences-dialog "Extras"->"Optionen..."{tools->options}. 3.)select "Textdokument"{text-document}, then "Allgemein"{General} on the left side 'menu'. 4.)in section "Einstellungen"{settings} change the item "Maßeinheit"{measurement unit} to a different value (e.g. from "Zoll"{inch} to "Zentimeter"{cm}). 5.)the unit of the item next to it, "Tabulatorenabstand"{tabstop?}, changes accordingly, *but*: 6.)select "Textdokument"->"Raster"{grid} on the left side menu: in section "Auflösung"{resolution} the items "Horizontal" and "Vertikal" still show the old measurement unit in their 'value-boxes'. Even changing these values does not update the measurement unit! There may be other items not updated but I didn't go hunt them down yet... I hope that's not "another &%ðđ duplicate", but my search didn't reveal any similar issues... Thx for that great OOo (esp. 1.1)! Georg
This is a duplicate of Issue 2374, since an "Apply" button would solve this problem. The previous issue was marked "Resolved - Later" in January of 2002. I'm confirming RH9/1.1rc4 and perhaps someone will take another look at this. Tam
"According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap (http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to OOo Later."

Created attachment 79973 [details] screenshot to illustrate discrepancy in this screenshot you can clearly see that the rulers are updated to inches but a dialog still measures in centimeters after changingthe setting in Tools-)options-)Writer-)General
