Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67298
"keep scale" with cropping not exact
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:47:52 UTC
I have a large image scaled at, say, 39%. Now I want to crop it keeping the image in place. For that I copy and paste the image in place and work on the copy. I use the crop dialog with "keep scale" switched on, enter the crop adjustments and do the cropping. The cropped image jumps to a new position. Then I move the the upper left corner of the cropped image back to the original position, using the original copy as a guide. It turns out that the cropped copy is now slightly differently scaled than the original, eg. the lower right corner does not line up, perhaps by 1%. Of course, the crop dialog on the cropped image still says that the image is scaled at 39%. I often use a background picture, and draw or digitize something on top of it, so there needs to be a coregristration between the picture and the objects, even after cropping.
Sorry, not reproducible. Can you attach a document where this is visible, please? Thanks.
If you the follow the issue URL, in the forum thread there is screenshot which shows the effect. I will also prepare a simple document which reproduces the issue and attach it here.
Ok, now with the picture I can reproduce it. It seems that there is somewhere a rounding problem. @cl: who does the rounding thing?

Thanks, I checked the bugdoc, and it does reproduce the the issue which I had attempted to describe. Well, a picture is worth a 1000 words. On a related note, it would be great if one could have more precision entering numbers in boxes. Thanks again for following up.
