Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11873
Underline and "Individual words" not working correctly when nonprinting chars are turned on
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
I imported a Word 2002 document that makes heavy use of underlined spaces and tabs. The problem is that they are not showing up underlined in OOO Writer. The "Individual words" setting seems to have no effect. I can not reproduce the problem manually in a new document. Something is inhibiting the Underline+IW setting. I will submit a copy of the files.
Created attachment 4922 [details] Documents exhibiting the symptoms
Has anyone tested my docs to see if the problem exists on their system?
Fails in 1.0.3 also.
Tested document in OOO 1.1 beta and the underline problem did not show up. The layout was a bit of a mess due to spacing and margin problems but it is fixable.
Jeff thank you for using and supporting OOo. I'm going to close this case for now. 1.1 Beta 2 seems to have solved the underline problem for me.
.
reopen issue. The problem only affects the display only (not printout or export to PDF). It only shows up when "View|Nonprinting Characters" is turned on. Occurs in both OOo 1.0.3 and OOo 1.1rc4
confirming, OS->ALL (windos & linux at least), Priotity 4 (printing, export works fine), target-milestone: "not determined", added " when nonprinting chars are turned on" to summary

Reassigned to MRU
With OO 1.1 RC4 it looks much batter than with OO 1.0.x. MRU->CMC: Lower on the page there are some tab characters completely missing (as content, not as para attribute).
This is due (to a perhaps illadvised) workaround for a problem with tabstops at the far right of a page or past the edge of a page. Word will not line wrap on such tabs, while writer will. Given that they are white space the idea was to strip when out when the are at the end of a line, which improves the vast majority of documents. Of course your document has underlined then and needs them in there :-(, so either the hack has to go or has to be made more sophisticated...

Ok, we'll just have to remove the hack and address the underlying wrap of tabstops outside the page text area with issue 20871
Fixed in killarneyfilterteam14 for 2.0, though it looks crap even though imported fine. see issue 20871 for all of that jazz.
Reopen to reassign
cmc->mru: Because we don't handle issue 20871 yet it looks rubbish even though imported correctly now
Yeah, can see. But IMO it already look very good, compared with OO 1.0.x. Checked fix with CWS kilkennyfilterteam14.
Verified. Fix will be included in OO 2.0.
Fix good in OO 2.0 snapshot src680m13.
