I have a textframe „Rahmen1“ on a page. Then, I insert in this frame a second
frame „Rahmen2“ with anchor-type „frame“. The position of „Rahmen2“ is relative
to „complete frame“ (I don't know exactly how this is in english). I isn't
possible to enter directly in the dialog negative values. But (differently to
OOo1.1 - but very practical) I can take „Rahmen2“ with the mouse and move it to
a negative position relatively to „Rahmen1“, here svg:x="-6.67mm" svg:y="-3.81mm
(taken from content.xml). Like this the file is saved. When I reload it,
„Rahmen2“ stays at the negative position.
But why isn't it possible to enter directly negative values in the dialog? When
I call the dialog of the frame, he show's me the position x=0, y=0 even if it's
in reality at a negative position.
This behavior I could reproduce on linux (suse 9.1) and windows (2000). The
textframe is also exportet at the negative position to pdf's.

Here the relevant part of content.xml. I'll also attach the file...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
