Description Jonathan 2023-06-03 01:09:46 UTC
Description:
Quattro Pro opened qpw files have rendering problems, slanted, and overrunning text. Have several Quattro Pro spreadsheet files from 2006, qpw extension. Opened several in the regularly-installed LibreOffice Calc version 7.5.3.2 (x86_64, Windows), and some in the standalone LibreOfficePortable_7.5.3_MultilingualStandard.paf.exe version. Rendering problems with text. Slanted text from column D onwards. Cells not the right width in slanted area. Print rendering shows similar distortions (selecting to print, and actual printing on paper shows it too). FORMATTING PRINTING UI

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Quattro Pro qpw file using Calc. 
2. Notice how all text beyond column C is actually slanted upwards. 
3. Notice how the column widths don't look correct ether.
4. Select to print.
5. See how the print preview has similar slanting.
6. Print onto paper. 
7. Acted printed on paper version has similar textual slanting and wrong column widths.  

Actual Results:
Slanted text (slanting upwards from the horizontal) on most text to the right of column C. Slanding is shown during direct sheet editing, and print preview, and printing. Column wides look too small for the parts of the sheet where the text is slanted.

Expected Results:
A normal looking sheet.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
