Description SaphireWarlord 2020-02-02 02:43:33 UTC
Description:
It appears that Writer is improperly indenting the 10th item in a numbered list, but only happens with a specific subset of fonts (so far I've discovered this behavior with Arial and Droid Sans Mono Slashed).

I tried typing text and it types after the cursor as expected, but still indented. With the little experimenting I did, changing fonts seemed to be the only solution.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new doc in writer, toggle the numbered list, set the font to a specific font (see above)
2. Type text in lines 1-9
3. Type enter and observe the cursor is indented unexpectedly.

Actual Results:
The indentation is not aligned with the previous numbered entries.

Expected Results:
The indentation should line up with the previous 9 numbers.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

On pc Debian x86-64 with LO Debian package 6.4.0.3, I could reproduce this.
It does also the same shift with Liberation Serif but from 100th entry.

I can confirm this issue with LO 7.0.2.2 on Linux with Bit Stream Vera Sans font at 10th position.

I've found the location of the problem. It is in sw/source/core/doc/number.cxx line 393ff:

        // position-and-space mode LABEL_ALIGNMENT
        // first line indent of general numbering in inch: -0,25 inch
        const long cFirstLineIndent = -1440/4;
        // indent values of general numbering in inch:
        //  0,5         0,75        1,0         1,25        1,5
        //  1,75        2,0         2,25        2,5         2,75
        const long cIndentAt[ MAXLEVEL ] = {
            1440/2,     1440*3/4,   1440,       1440*5/4,   1440*3/2,
            1440*7/4,   1440*2,     1440*9/4,   1440*5/2,   1440*11/4 };

The indents are hardcoded regardless of the dimensions of the font and the number of list number digits.

A quick fix is to increase the hard coded indent, eg. use 1600 instead of 1440.

Workaround: the first knob in the ruler can be manually dragged left to increase the indents.

The workaround seems only to work on master (7.1), but not 7.0.2.2. The knobs seems kind of broken in 7.0.2.2.

Scito: perhaps you can submit a patch on gerrit and wait for some LO dev experts feedback? You may also ping someone on dev LO IRC.

This is basically a duplicate of bug 126690 but let's keep separate so far, in case that either is just partially resolved.
Comment 9 Justin L 2021-09-25 10:05:57 UTC
A matter of taste I guess. I expect that vast majority of numbering never reaches 10, and so increasing the space might look like too much space for the normal use case.

No errors here - just a disagreement about the defaults. I would tend to mark this as WONTFIX.
Comment 10 Timur 2022-09-09 08:36:49 UTC
I'll mark duplicate because it's a frequent request scattered around in multiple bugs.
