Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 54179
Regression: empty pars given numbering level 1
Last modified: 2006-03-08 11:16:24 UTC
This is present in m125, and I think m121. Was not present in earlier builds on the version 2 branch. When a writer file is displayed that has a heading in heading 1 style, there is a huge gap under that in the Navigator: the effect is what I would expect if I had two or three empty paragraphs also in heading 1 underneath it. But I don't. See screenshot for an illustration

of @ mru: Please have a look
just for the records: I don't see this in m128 (german version of OOo) on Ubuntu-Linux...
It seems to have gone i m128 under Windows, too, so I'll close it.
reopening. It is still there in 128, and I have a better description. What is happening is the navigator is displaying empty paragraphs in the "default text" style, but only empty ones. Paragraphs with text in them in that style do not appear in the Navigator window -- neither should they, since it has no numbering level applied. But empty paragraphs are treated almost as if they had a numbering level of 1. If they really had that level, they could be selected, and deleted, in the navigator. But they can't. They can only be seen (and not hidden). Steps to repeat -- start a document with heading 1. Change to default text, and press <cr> a few times. Look at the Navigator window, under "headings"
summary rewritten for clarity
HI->ES: Please take a look
Another effect -- I think -- of the same bug is that the nevigator window flickers when I am typing fast, even though no text is displayed in it. I have seen something like this happening when I set the default paragraph style to show in the navigator -- it's a workaround for proper outlining. But now it is happening all the time. It makes the navigator very hard to use, and I thnk that's worse than priority 4, especially as it is a regression.
Please attach a sample document
Well, I have attached a screenshot earlier. But here's a document. Open it with the navigator open and see how many lines there are between the heading line and the first line of text.

I still cannot reproduce it on Linux and WinXP. Maybe your UI Font causes this. Please try to set your system font to something more... traditional and see what happens (maybe you'll need to restart OOo).
Changing the default font does not help me -- I will put up a screenshot in a moment, using only extremely boring fonts :-). The only thing I can think of that might make you unable to see this is that you may have your outline numbering levels set differently to mine. The bug shows up when I have heading one set to numbering level 1, and none of the other numbering levels applied to any style at all, except for number level 10 being set to heading 10. In particular, I get this effect when default text has no numbering level applied to it under tools -> outline numbering. Besides, I have used the unusual system font and headings for at least a year now, and there was never any problem with any of the previous 680 builds. It is a regression somewhere in the m120s. The other symptom, clearly visible in the layout I am using here, is that the navigator pane refreshes with a visible twitch, every half second or so. This is cured – very strange – by setting the default text to numbering level three. At this point, all the flickering stops, and all the funny effects go away. That is to say that all paragraphs, with and without text, are displayed when the navigator is set to display level 3, and all of them disapear when it is set to display only level 1. That's the expected behaviour.

And what happens when you click on an empty entry? Does the cursor jump in the document? On an empty paragraph?
Nothing whatever happens when I click in an empty paragraph. That it sot say the cursor disappears from he text as soon as I click i the navigator, and does not reappear anywhere. This is happening with any style and any font that does not have an outline numbering level attached, including heading two, heading three and so on.
Which version are you using now? Please give a description of the style/level mapping under "Tools - Outline Numbering"
Right now I am using 2.02 rc4, the Pavel Janik en_GB build. A completely fresh installation this afternoon -- dead on cue, the problem has gone away. all of my outline numberings are now set to their respctive heading levels. Before, there was a heading 1 set, and a level 10, but nothing in between. That was a change I had made in a template, but I couldn't unmake it. If you can't reproduce this, and if it has gone away in my copy, I shall close the issue. But as WFM, since it certainly was valid.
