Description pierrechanial 2003-06-15 19:05:31 UTC 
A slide created with Impress 1.0.1 does not look right in 1.1b2:

Step to reproduce (see attachments)
- open sxi attachment in 1.1b2

Expected result: slide should look identical in 1.1b2 and 1.0.1
Current result: see the screenshot for the many differences.
(note: I filed bug 15642 for the greek/roman issue)

Reassigned to Christian.
Comment 5 christian.guenther 2003-07-01 13:02:09 UTC 
set to new
Comment 6 christian.guenther 2003-07-01 13:19:02 UTC 
In OOo1.0.1 we use the printer metric for the document (font) formating.
This behaviour has been changed and now the documents are printer
metric independent. To change back the default you must select 'Use
printer metrics for document formating' in
'Tools/Options/Presentation/General/Compatibility'.
Comment 7 christian.guenther 2003-07-01 13:21:16 UTC 
I close the issue.
Comment 8 pierrechanial 2003-07-01 20:27:59 UTC 
I'll reopen this bug with a new summary.
I am grateful to give me a way to set the compatibility mode, but I am
just a user amongst tens/hundreds/etc. of thousands others.
I reported the problem but imo, the majority of the other users will
say: bah let's drop OOo, their format is not stable, one can not read
document that have been written in 1.0.

I think that when a document has been written with 1.0.1, the
compatibility mode should be triggered, or the document should be
converted.
Word/PowerPoint is quite good to open old files.
I know reopening bug is a bit like spam, but imho, it's a serious flaw
. Of course, (I won't reopen it if you won'tfix it again)
Comment 9 christian.guenther 2003-07-21 10:05:17 UTC 
I think Pierre is right.
Please have a look.
Comment 10 groucho266 2003-07-22 09:29:24 UTC 
I will have a look at whether the "use printer metrics"-flag is
initialized with the wrong value for (slightly) older OpenOffice Draw
and Impress documents.
Comment 11 groucho266 2004-02-26 16:59:28 UTC 
I can not reproduce the bad layout of the second attached bitmap.  This is due
to our increasing the resolution of the printer independent rendering to 600 DPI
or above (the exact id of that fix I can not remember.)
Comment 12 groucho266 2004-02-26 17:00:46 UTC 
Do you have the id of the bug fix at hand that I mentioned above?
Comment 13 christian.guenther 2004-02-27 13:08:59 UTC 
This issue is duplicate to issue 15437
Issue 15437 is fixed and integrated in OOo 1.1.1
I close this issue.
Please reopen it if the bug still occures in OOo1.1.1.
