Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 3017
false alignment with multiple binoms
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:53:10 UTC
Ladies and Gentlemen, if using multiple binoms like for example: P=left ( binom{a}{b} right ) *left ( binom{a-a}{b-b} right ) the 3 a and the 2 b are not at the same high. I would kindly please you to correct this. With best regards Marcus Daub
I cannot reproduce this in the current build #7725. All characters are perfectly aligned. It even works perfectly in old StarOffice 5.2... Did you use a (slightly) different formel than th eone you posted? TL->MRU: To you to have a look at in latest OpenOffice version.
I took a look at the image you supplied. This effect does not happen in the both versions I've used to check this. Strange... Do you have changed the default settings for the formulas? Like spacing, font sizes, alignment... (Though I doubt that the effect could be achieved that way.) I like you to have a look in the "user\config\registry\instance\org\openoffice\Office" subtree of you installation directory if there is a 'Math.xml' This is where all user changes would be stored. If there is such a file please add it as attachement to this bug. Thanks!
Even with the user/*/Math.xml file I couldn't reproduce this.
Can you provide a snapshot of the problem in different sizes, e.g. at 100% and 400% zoom? Please attach the snaps to this bugs.
Created attachment 1051 [details] Snapshot of the problem
HDU->MRU: Same problem in all views, so it is not rounding related. Since also the size of parentheses is different and matches the vertical alignment of the rows inside, I suspect the algorithm for calculating this size has a problem. Does this algorithm use the text width of the row somehow?
TL added to cc.
Added also HDU to cc.
I think, HDU wanted to send it to you.... because I don't understand, what he talked about ;-) I don't know about the algorithm that does anything. Well, another thing: I was only able to reproduce this with the Opensymbol font, not with the StarSymbol. Could it be, that this issue is related to issue #3780 (bar much too high) anyway?
TL->IH: HDU and I think it is the same problem as #i3780 since the problem occurs too under Windows when using the OpenSymbol font. Can you have a look in this?
Because I did not find any font relating problems I will assign this one to TL.
TL: to be checked with StarOffice and OpenSymbol font...
Phew... I'm glad this one could be reproduced now. It should be fixed in the next OpenOffice build. (BTW: the reason is the same as for #i3780) We could never reproduce this because it only happens if you do _not_ have installed a StarSymbol font along with OpenSymbol font. Which is unfortunately usually not the case here... As workaround until the new version is build a renaming of the font from "OpenSymbol" to "StarSymbol" should work.
