Description	Flags
a small document with one custom style and which shows where to add the pagebreak	none

Description benji2 2005-03-23 10:10:36 UTC

Hi,

The style of the page doesn't immediatly reflect the change after it has been
changed with a pagebreak insertion in some case.
Here is how to reproduce (on 2.0beta Linux Gtk at least)
- Create new document
- Create new pagestyle, for example, one with "landscape" orientation and
colored background
- fill the first page with carriage return (or anything else) and get the last
line of the page filled with characters (like "aaaaaaaaa" etc.), so that the
paragraph automatically continue on the next page.
- click somewhere on the firstpage's lastline and insert a pagebreak with the
new style. Depending on where you click (near the beginning or near the end of
the line), the page may or may not change immediatly. Note that if it doesn't
work, it's still correctly refresh after a new paragraph is inserted.

This behaviour feels like the styles change hasn't worked because of lack of
immediate feedback in some case. Correct behaviour is that the page style get
always updated after the pagebreak insertion.

This is very easy to workaround (simply add paragraph break to force its
refresh), but still very confusing. Note that this was the same on 1.1.x so
maybe it's a feature not a bug :)

Thanks

Hi benji2,
do i understand correctly that this problem is a screen-rendering-issue and
apart from this minor defect OOo works correctly?
I could not reproduce it with 'fvwm'-windowmanager on SuSE 9.2.
Which distro do you use? Which window manager?
Thanks, Max

Comment 2 benji2 2005-03-28 21:42:54 UTC

Well, this is not only a screen-rendering, since the update is not applied at
all (for example, you can go to PagePreview and see that the page is not updated
at all). I attached a simple file for you to test.
I had the bug on a RedHat 9 KDE (kwin), and now, i'm doing it on a Gnome 1.4
(sawfish 1.0). Note that i'm pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the wm
nor the distro.
On the attached file (pagebreak.odt), put the cursor between "><" and add a
manual pagebreak with the style "Blue". Expected result: the next page is
landscape mode with blue background. Got result: looks as if i added a simple "\n".
Hope it can help

Comment 4 benji2 2005-03-28 23:05:59 UTC

also altough i used Gnome1.4, i have an upgraded Gtk+ (2.4). Note that the bug
occurs the same with the SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=False version, so it's not related to
the gtk rendering either (it didn't feel so anyway)

MRU->FME: open the attached document. At the end of first page place cursor
between "><". Via menu open 'Insert.Manual Brek' dialog. Select page break with
new style "Blue" -> the style will not be applied in the document, though it is
correctly set in Format.Paragraph.Text flow.

Hi,
I didn't update because nothing progressed for the last two years. I tested
again the example described above on 2.4 and 3.0beta, and the bug is still there.
I'm not sure why it's tagged "needmoreinfo", since it's totally reproducible.
