Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 87820
no dashed line with rectangles
Last modified: 2008-07-10 13:25:09 UTC
Drawing a rectangle I only get lines with drawn through lines and no dashed ones. Circles are OK
Please give a detailed step by step description of your action. I cannot reproduce the problem. Thanks!
I made a screencast so you can see what I mean and what I do: http://rapidshare.de/files/39015415/OOo_rectangle.mpeg.html
I could hardly see the video, it was some kind of distorted. What I figured out: You insert a circle from the basic shapes toolbox, change its linestyle via This works. You insert a rectangle from the basic shapes toolbox, change its linestyle via context menu/line into dashed. Nothing happens. Correct? Unfortunately this cannot be reproduced here, everything is fine. Do you use an official build from OOo or from some other source? I would recommend an official build.
You got it right. Yes I use an official build. And I'm still running Kubuntu 6.06 if that matters.
By the way: When I select a rectangle with rounded corners which I make to a absolute rectangle (with no rounded corners) it also works.

Still not reproducible. Does this still occur for you with the latest official build? Thanks in advance.
Tested it again with 4.1 and 3.0beta: 4.1 works, but 3.0beta has the behaviour again (no dashed lines).
Tested it again with 4.1 and 3.0beta: 2.4.1 works, but 3.0beta has the behaviour again (no dashed lines).
Could this be related to issue 86163?
If a screen refresh helps it is the same problem: CTRL+SHIFT+R.
Created attachment 54890 [details] overview <-> working space
CTRL+SHIFT+R doesn't help in 3.0beta. But an additional info: There are dased lines in the "overview" at the left side of draw, but not on the working space.
Sorry, but this seems to be a problem that is not reproducible in any way. So we cannot do any fixing here. I fit is possible I would recommend a complete reinstallation of the Office here. As it cannot be reproduced I close this issue for now. Feel free to reopen if you have nay more info. Thanks for your help.
Closed.
Even though my original issue 89067 was not redraw-related as claimed for issue 86163, my problem which was introduced with update 10 has been solved with the new update 11 for StarOffice 8 (which solves issue 86163).
Thanks for your comment. Nice to hear that it is solved.
