Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 52907
Display not being properly updated following deletions
Last modified: 2005-08-08 01:34:50 UTC
I'm noticing that the display is not being properly updated when I delete either a range of characters or when use a key bound to "Delete To End Of Line" or "Delete To End Of Paragraph". The deleted text remains on the display but if I scroll off that page and then back on, the display properly shows the blank area.
Please add a step by step description, a screen shot and a sample document.
I'm sorry, I can't reproduce the problem. It turns out that it was more than just the keyboard shortcuts that were messed up. Pretty much nothing was being updated properly until the page was redisplayed. I quit out and relaunched soffice and the problem was gone. However, I do periodically get display update problems of another sort: often when I drag a tab (or other marker), the shadow line isn't properly cleaned up as it moves. The result is black vertical lines which are cleared when the page is scrolled back and forth. This latter problem has been around for many releases and I suspect it is a dup. If so, you can turf this issue. If not, I've uploaded an example. I've noticed that the problem seems to be worse when there is more on the display. If I shrink the window, or on pages which have less text, the problem is less likely to appear.
Created attachment 28526 [details] Garbled display caused by dragging tabs. This also happens with other vertical markers.
You cannot reproduce the issue you reported. Fine! Closing as WORKSFORME. The other problem is (indeed) another problem which is tracked under issue 50954.
