Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81665
page size clipped or incorrect for certain measurement units
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:40:43 UTC
Issue 4219 relaxed the maximum page size for Draw documents to 3m x 3m. Because the page size value (Format > Page dialog) is clipped to certain values, conflicts arise with the standard page sizes for some measurement units. Note: "UoM" refers to Tools > Options > OO.org Draw > General > Unit of measurement E.g. for UoM="millimeters", page size is clipped to 300x300 mm, so standard page sizes larger than A4 or US Letter are silently clipped to 300mm. Some page sizes are also clipped for UoM="points", although there the clipping limit is 3000 points, so fewer page sizes are affected. Also, although this may not be a bug, when the UoM="inch", the page size is clipped to 300 inches, which is 7.62m (i.e. larger than the 3m limit mentioned in Issue 4219). Here are some paper size/UoM combinations that are clipped(*): UoM:cm in mm pt pi (Max) 300.0 118.1 3000* 8504* 709* A0 118.9 46.8 1189* 3370* 281 A1 84.1 33.1 841* 2384 199 A2 59.4 23.4 594* 1684 140 A3 42.0 16.5 420* 1191 99 A4 29.7 11.7 297 842 70 Letter 27.9 11.0 279 792 66 Legal 35.6 14.0 356* 1008 84 Tabloid 43.2 17.0 432* 1224 102 B4(JIS) 36.4 14.3 364* 1032 86 B4(ISO) 35.3 13.9 353* 1001 83
Oops. Hardly seems necessary, but... Steps to reproduce: 1) File > New > Drawing 2) Tools > Options > OO.org Draw > General > Unit of measurement = "millimeter" 3) Format > Page > Page > Paper Format = "A3" Note that the "Height" entry has clipped at 300mm, instead of the correct 420mm for A3 paper. 3a) Format > Page > Page > Paper Format > Width = "3m" (user enters text) Note that the value clips to 300mm -- not quite 3m ;-) Workaround: Set UoM="inch". The page size can then be set for any standard page size, or any user-entered page size up to 300x300 inches (7.6m). Then change the UoM back to millimeters. This seems to work fine--the large page size is preserved on saving/re-loading the file; other problems are untested/unknown.
Reproducible. Reassigned.
I believe it's a DUP, but for first I will mark it "depends on" Issue 81809
set target from 2.x to 3.x according http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Target_3x
This issue should be closed, not retargeted: 1) I agree, Issue 81809 is the same issue. 2) Issue 81809 is a P2, and thus not eligible for retargeting 3) Further, the issue is a regression, because the problem was introduced by changes for Issue 4219. Therefore it makes no sense to re-target this issue; it should simply be closed and dealt with through Issue 81809.
AW: Setting to duplicate... *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 81809 ***
AW: Closing as proposed.
