Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 8311
online layout with negatively aligned tables inconsistent
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Load attached .sxw, in outline mode there are tables positioned with a portion past the left margin. The tables on the first 2 pages are clipped to hide the part past the left of the margin, while the tables on the last page are not, but one of the final tables are shown overlapping the other.
Created attachment 3162 [details] example .sxw
The first tables are in the main text flow and have a negative indent (bigger than the margin of the online layout page). The tables on the last page are inside text frames with negative positions. Text frames could not be positioned outside the page, they moves inside the page. That's the difference between these tables. Maybe we should limit the negative indent of tables (and paragraphs) to the page borders. The last two tables overlaps because their text frames are anchored at paragraphs. In printer layout mode there's not enough space beside the tables so the paragraphs are between the tables. In online layout the paragraphs find their place at the right side of the tables, the result is the overlapping.

SBA: According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap (see http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to "OOo Later".
