WW8: rotated trapezoid shapes not properly exported
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Bug : Basic Shapes do not rotate properly when saved in Word format. ( Identical to Issue 59963 that was closed for lack of reproducibility. ) 1) Create a new "Drawing" ( I'm using OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 running on WinXP ). 2) Insert some basic shapes ( for example, Trapezoid and Isoc-Triangle ). 3) Copy the Trapezoid and Isoc-Triangle into new area, then rotate each object 90 degrees using [ Right-Click ],[ Position and Size ], Rotation Angle = 90. 4) Draw "Line Ends with Arrow" between the objects as if you were making a flow chart ( these are for reference points only ). 5) [ Edit ], [ Select All ], [ Edit ], [ Copy ] 6) Open up a new "Text Document". 7) [ Edit ], [ Paste ]. Drawing should now be in Text doc and look correct. 8) [ File ], [ Save As ] - save as a Word 97/2K/XP document. 9) Open up DOC using either OpenOffice or MS-Word. The objects that were rotated will be messed up. The objects will be vertically offset and the trapezoid will be stretched.
Created attachment 38969 [details] ODT Document with rotated basic shapes.
Shapes growing on export is known, see issue 65745. Also the position of objects in a group get an offset on export is tracked, but I cannot find the ID at the moment. MRU->SJ: the rotated trapezoid in the lower left corner will have wrong dimensions after exporting to Micorsoft format.
