Description Andrew_M_Freyman 2012-11-10 21:54:30 UTC 
NOTE: Version wasn't listed in options. Please disregard if this feature exists in the newest version.

OpenOffix.org 3.3.0
OOO330m20 (Build:9567)
OpenOffice.org Writer
Page Width textbox (found in "Format" menu, "Page..." option)

1. User enters 2'5" into Page Width textbox
2. User takes focus away from Page Width textbox
3. Program converts 2'5" to 25" and displays 25.00" in Page Width textbox (user expects 29.00")

User should expect this feature due to the following current functionality:
- User can enter 2' (program converts to 24.00")
- User can enter 24" (program covnerts to 24.00")
- User can enter 2ft (program converts to 24.00")
- User can enter 24in (program converts to 24.00")

User should also expect this feature because 2'5" is a generally-accepted measurement notation.

As given in description.
Even 2ft5in is wrongfully converted to 25".
