Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 47342
UI-Zoom Function Scrambles Displayed Text in Writer
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
1. I increased the zoom factor to 110 percent in the options section (subcategory Open Office, then view) of Writer. 2. When returning to the writing, the text was not displayed properly. It either did not display the typed text or scrambled the font (Georgia).
hello uhu_buhu, which version do you use? (it cannot be 2.0..)
reporter says it is 2.0, as 2.0 final is not released yet i assume it is 2.0beta. IZ however does not offer 2.0beta for this issue :-(
Changed Component from '*Testproduct' and reassigned Owner, to move this Issue forward. ->'uhu_buhu', please provide more information. Does this problem still occur with a more recent version of OOo 2.0.1? Regards, Andrew
Reassigned to SBA.
I can reproduce it with OO 2.0.4 RC1 on Vista and m180 on Win XP: 1. Open Writer, set font to Geogia. 2. Type couple of lines of random text. 3. Go to Tools, Options, OO.org, View and set Zoome to 110%. Click OK. 4. Type more text and note how it is distorted. See attached "garbled- zoom110.gif" - area circled in red contains text. 5. Minimize, maximize Writer and note how text is displayed just fine (see "redraw.gif").

I can confirm the test of user "kpalagin" repeatable. Similar results - REPEATABLE. However. After the phases 1-5 I continued the test. 6. Close document 7. new document (Font Times New Roman) 8. type random text 9. see same result, the text is distorted (see screenshot "TimesNewRoman.PNG") Repeat test with font "Verdana". => again distorted test. Repeat test with other fonts. => again distorted test. SO. The main thing is to set Zoom to 110. Tools => Options => OO.org => View => Zoom => 110%. To be precise what I used - WIN XP Professional version 2002 SP 2 + updates - OpenOffice 2.0.3 OOC680_m7 Build 1 (Tue Jun 29 16;19;13 CEDT 2006) (Finnish version) - OpenOffice Finnish proofreader: oo2-soikko-Windows-1.1.1.exe

SBA: I can NOT reproduce this on my machine (win 2000, OOo 2.04). (A) This looks like an does-not-ALWAYS-happen thingie. (B) You are talking about the change on the UI Zoom factor (NOT the document Zoom!). Now c'mon, and be serious: How often do people change the UI Zoom factor in real life? Right now we are talking about a single repaint error that occurs once the ENTIRE UI is re-calculated that is not even ALWAYS taking place. (Personal note: You should praise the developers that you don't have to reboot to get the desired result, Haha! :-) Now seriously: I do believe that there is bigger fisch to catch than this. Target set to OOo later, Prio to P4. As far as I can see the state of boredom among the Writer developers, this is VERY close to "WONTFIX". But all OOo communiy developers may feel free to deal with this one. SBA->FME: Please pile this one up :-)
SBA: Set target.
This Issue requires more information ('needmoreinfo'), but has not been updated within the last year. Please re-test with one of the latest versions of OOo - the problem(s) may have already been addressed. Either use the recent stable version: http://download.openoffice.org/index.html or consider trying the new OOo 3 BETA (still in testing): http://download.openoffice.org/3.0beta/ Please report back the outcome so this Issue may be closed or progressed as necessary - otherwise it may be Resolved as Invalid in the future.
