Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22104
invisible tabstops
Last modified: 2003-11-07 09:09:43 UTC
attached document contains single line. the text is not aligned to the tab stops, but to something that is not visible. removing it & pressing tab at the beginning of the line again aligns the text to some invisible location. format -> paragraph -> tabs -> [delete all] helps to get rid of this behaviour (although there are no tabs to delete available for selection)
Created attachment 10943 [details] file with invisible tab stop
if i look at this document the frist sign is a tab (set by keyboard), if i enable the nonprinting character view i can see that this is a tabstop. if i look on the horizontal ruler i see the tabstop sign a smal t standing on its head. in the dialog tabs you can see the manualy set tabs only (set by clicking into the ruler), not the ones set by keyboard. the tabs set by keyboard are in a fix size set in tools -> options -> textdocument -> general -> settings -> tab stops the manualy set tabstops are set in the paragraph dialog or with the mouse in the ruler. the size depends on your settings and only for every singe tabstop you set on this way (the signs of this tabstops ar bold). set to invalid reassigned to jw
set to invalid
invalid -> closed.
hmm. it seems that everything is fine with my copy, too. probably restarting oo.org helped, sorry for troubling (previously it really was aligned in some weird way)
there is no need to excuse :) you are welcome and we are glad if we can help to make this product even better
