Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20638
Tab to zero on first-line-negative-indent fails on loaded document.

If a paragraph has a negative indent for the first line, and the first (only) tab is at zero, and there is a tab in first line of data, and the document has just been loaded, the tab does not go where it should (to the main left-margin point). Load the attached document. Note how the verse reads: Name. This is the first line. This is the second line. This is the third line. Now, right-click on one of those verse paragraphs. Pick "Edit Paragraph Style". Pick the Tab tab of the dialog box. Don't actually change anything. Just hit "OK". Now all the verse reads, correctly: Name. This is the first line. This is the second line. This is the third line. You can save the document now, if you like. But when you load it again, the tabs will be screwed up until you do the above bypass again. Spooky, huh?
Created attachment 9914 [details] Sample file referred to in text
confirmed on OOo1.1 reassigend to jw set target to OOo 2.0 set satus to new
.
after talking to sba reassigend to fme set target to office later
Did I mention that the bollix also applies to printing? So it isn't safe simply to load and print any document bitten by this bug? So the bypass has to be executed _every_ _time_? Assignment to "OOo Later" does not look good to me.
