Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45623
Underlining fails to work correctly if any characters use expanded spacing
Last modified: 2014-06-05 09:46:09 UTC
Underlining does not work properly when the characters use expanded/condensed spacing (on Writer menu: Format->Character->Position [Spacing]). The underline extends past the end of the word, and becomes more noticable as the amount of expanded/condensed spacing is increased.
confirm with m86, SuSE 9.2 for easier reproducing increase spacing value to high value, f.e. 15,0 pt
MRU->HDU: condensed character format will alwasy give a little extra underlining at the end of a line.
Created attachment 25476 [details] Mini sample document
HDU->FME: The underline width is the value of the last element in the pDXArray argument to DrawTextArray(), so from a VCL perspective it works as designed. It seems to be work as designed in Writer too, because the underline behaviour is compatible with other legacy applications. On the other hand I see that the extra long underlining looks odd, so maybe UX should be aware of this and make a decision. Another related observation is, that when the text gets highlighted there is a discrepancy in 680m94 between the width of the highlight vs. the underline.
This will not be fixed in OO 2.x branch due to limited resources. Retargeted to OO later.
Competetive analysis gave the result, that this behaviour is "industry standard". If this should be chaned, we need a decision from UserExperience department. Reassigned to FL.
