Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 114076
No. of strikethrough for TT characters different to older OOo versions

I had to revert to an older version of Open Office due to the following issue, but based on a reply I got at the OpenOffice.org forums, the bug is easily reproduced so hopefully my description will provide enough info that you can see what I'm talking about: I found the bug in 3.2.1 OOO320M18 Build:9502. I'm working with a document that uses a couple of different strikethrough font effects, often for just a single character. After updating to the version of 3.2.1 referenced above, the slash and X strikethroughs affect not only the selected character, but the next character as well. It does this not only for new stuff I'm typing with strikethroughs, but it also displays existing strikethroughs (i.e. ones that I typed with the older version of OpenOffice) as doubles. It even shows me that it is going to (wrongly) do this in the preview pane on the Font Effects screen itself, EXCEPT that in the preview pane, it shows the selected letter slashed, and a space afterward (I've linked a screen shot below – notice that I selected the “u”, but it's showing a “u” and a space both slashed). http://img19.imageshack.us/i/strikethroughprob1.jpg/ Once I've finished slashing the u and returned to the document, the phantom space is gone, and instead both the u and the next letter, the m, are slashed (even though only the u was selected). http://img97.imageshack.us/i/strikethroughprob3.jpg/ The regular, double, and bold strikethroughs all work correctly, it's just the slash and the X that are misbehaving. They not only display incorrectly (doubled), they also print incorrectly. When I revert to an earlier version, the doubles are gone.
Reproducible with "Ooo-Dev 3.3.0 multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [OOo330m1 (Build 9514)]"! The result is unexpected for me with all versions, I believed every character should be striked separately. But with 3.3 I see additional added strikethroughs for a text created with 2.4 and already modified with 3.1, same effect with new strikethroughs. I will check for DUPs soon.
The effect also is visible in CALC The behaviour in 3.1, 3.4 is no longer unexpected. For those "vertical strikethroughs" the strikethroughs have constant distances, so that for TT fonts characters with different width need different No of strikethroughs. The reported effect can be seen easily wich blanks. Type 10 blanks (Arial 10) and select effect strike throug with "/" 3.1.1: 10 strikethroughs 3.3: 11 strikethroughs I checked for string "qwertzuiopüasdfghjklöäyxcvb" in WRITER 3.1.1: 46 strikethroughs 3.3: 49 strikethroughs Corrected Summary due to my results
MRU->HDU: this is highly related (or even duplicate) to issue 107565. The strikethrough when using X or / is longer than it formerly in OOo 3.1.1. If you select a character and activate X or /-strikethrough, the following character will also be affected.
