Tested with OOo 1.1 under WinXP environment and confirmed this issue. However, this might be purely a display problem as pressing tab will bring the cursor to the correct position i.e. .5" in this case. hmm can not confirm this here can you please attach a screenshot? reassigend to jw Can confirm a similar problem with English 00o1.1.0 and German language as default on Win98. Have checked with Inch as measurement unit, which didn´t show misaligned tabstops. After changing back the setting to cm, the misaligned tabstops show. I don´t know whether this was already before I changed and rechanged the setting. Will attach a screenshot. Created attachment 10446 [details]
screenshot
the only thing i see if i change the tabstop between inch an cm is a recalculating of the cm/inch value to the inch/cm value so the tabstop remains where it has been with the previous measurement unit. to align the tabstop to the new "mu" i just have to enter a 1cm to the value field. i think this is a must be, just think of someone who made a large document and decided to change the "mu" back to another "mu" he must reformat the whole document if we reset the tab stop value to the default if the "mu" has been changed. set to invalid invalid -> closed Whether one changes the value after inch->cm or not, the problem still remains: The tabs are definitely misaligned. I´ve changed the setting to 1cm (mu is cm), and again: the first tabstop position shows a slight misplacement to the right of the "1cm" mark on the ruler, which becomes larger at the higher markings. By the way, obviously, my addendum to my last comment got lost: The attached screenshot shows misaligned tabstops which have been set to 1.25cm (and not 1.27cm which would result from changing the inch, set to 0.5, to cm without editing the value.) Reopen the issue? reassigend to os please take a look on this issue. set status to new set target to OOo later @pinkernel: sorry just misunderstood the focus of this issue. . *** Issue 25486 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** I find the same thing here, Win2K Pro using OOo 1.1.1 rc3. Default mu of cm, default tab stop of 1.00 cm. Can't tell if it's just the rendering along the ruler bar, or if it actually affects tab stop positions. Also it seems to get worse the further to the right you go on the ruler bar, as if the ruler bar tab stops were using a measurement slightly greater than 1.00 cm. Have screenshot doc if anyone wants another, but I'll not post it unless requested. *** Issue 81402 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** Happens on Linux too - http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=81402. This issue is still present on Linux in 3.0.0.3.5 with openSuSE 11.0. Here is a current screenshot: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/ooo/oo-writer-tab0ffset_3.0.png Any chance of getting this fixed in 3.0? Clarification: As observed in OOo 3.0.0 build 9358 on WinXP - - the issue is present in all units of measurement (cm, in, pica, pt) - it is best described as a difference in calculating pixel distances and hence positions between ruler markings and default tab stop markings - there is cumulative difference for multiple default tab stops (i.e. the smaller the default tab space, the more difference can be observed over a given ruler distance) - the effect varies with small variations of zoom factor: changing the zoom factor in small steps makes the misalignment jump between positive, negative and none at all (or not perceivable?) - For easy observation, set a zoom factor of several hundred percent (to make changes of 5 percent less significant wrt the viewable area), scroll sideways near the trailing edge of the text area to take advantage of the cumulative effect (I'm just assuming about right-to-left here, didn't test that), set yourself to watch a default tab stop mark near a ruler subdivision mark (preferably one that should be perfectly aligned with it, according to the specified tab space) and repeatedly click the (+) and (-) buttons near the zoom factor slider. Expected behaviour would be for the marks to keep their alignment regardless of zoom factor (keeping any difference to scale, which should not be a noticeable change under the above conditions), in fact they "jump around" each other.
