Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13606
Wrong ruler in text. Correct in header and footer
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:20:02 UTC
If I add a border to my page, I get a wrong ruler for my text whereas the rulers of header and footer are okay.

Same issue in SO 6.1 offical Beta 1
Duplicated with OOo 1.1 beta 2 on windows 2000. There is a (minor) mismatch with the paragraph indentation marks on the horizontal ruler. The marks are always shown at the outmost page margins, as set by format/page/page/margins although text flow actually is affected by additional indentation due to the "spacing to contents" settings in format/page/borders. When moving the indentation marks one can see that the effective change is offset by the value of the "spacing to contents" value. This behaviour is not consistent, as it is different eg. from the way the marks work in text frames. @Skeeve: As stated in your document, your goal was to have a background image that covers the whole page independent from page margins settings. This can be achieved by creating a graphics element that is anchored to the page with "wrap" set to "background". Imho the way OOo deals with page background images can be found reasonable and consistent. OTOH your report shows that there is a shortcoming in functionality. if you're not satisfied with the workaround offered above I'd suggest you file a _feature_ request.
> This can be achieved by creating a graphics element that is anchored > to the page with "wrap" set to "background". This is inacceptable for several reason: 1. You can't insert the graphic in the header or footer which has the consequence that you'll have to do it by hand on every page. This is no solution for template documents 2. If you do it, your text becomes un-editable because every click will select the "background" image. > if you're not satisfied with the workaround offered above I'd > suggest you file a _feature_ request. I will try and find out how to do that.
Reassigned to ES
Setting target for ruler issue to OOo 2.0. Page background is handled with in issue 14732 and Issue 9370.
ES->OS: I remember we already fixed this for tables and frames but it's still a problem for page and header/footer. Description: when a border is applied to the page and a distance text <-> border is set, the paragraph boundary marks (1st line, rest of the text and right margin) in the ruler start from the border though they should start from the text area.
