Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 56820
Ruby in vertical text in grid wrongly moves original text sideways
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:52 UTC
Using ruby (aka furigana aka Asian phonetic guide) with vertical text causes the whole column to move sideways, out of the grid boxes. I will attach a file exhibiting the problem. This is similar to bug 24508, but the fix given there (changing the text-to-text alignment) does not work here.
Reassigned to SBA.

Temporally assigned to me. I will need to discuss specifications for the situation where the size of characters are bigger than the size of the grid.
Created attachment 39082 [details] Another bugdoc that illustrates this phenomenon.

SBA: Could you confirm this issue?
No activity for a while. Is this issue outdated considering current version ?
Using Openoffice.org 2.3.1, (openoffice-bin-2.3.1 on gentoo) there are still problems here (though my previous attachment seems to work okay now---this may be because the font changed on my system). It looks like there are several problems: (1) When ruby test is present, the size of the characters that can appear in the grid shrinks; if the text is too big, it shifts over to the left. (This is different from what happens when the text is too large without rubies.) (2) If the ruby is too large, it also pushes the main text to the left. (3) Both sizes are smaller than those listed in the Format > Page > Text Grid. (In my example, the max base text size is shown as 20 and the max ruby text size is shown as 10, but I can't do better than 18 and 7 without shifting---though I can fit 20 point main text in if there isn't any ruby text.) I'm not sure what should happen if a character is too large to fit in the grid, but it probably shouldn't be different depending on whether there is ruby text or not. (The shifting seems wrong to me, but there may not be a good answer.) But the sizes should be correct on the Text Grid page, and adding ruby which fits should not move main text which fits. I will attach an example showing all of this. (To avoid any font issues, I tried to use Bitstream Vera Sans.)
