Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 63507
lost position of drawings in large table when saving document
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:17:56 UTC
Make a long table that spans over 2 pages. Paste drawings into it, wether it be from Draw or from the drawing toolbar of Writer. Save the file. When you re-open it, the positions of the drawing objects are lost: the objects are all on the right of the page, the ones on top of the others. In particular, the property "horizontal position" of the objects have been modified. - True on both Windows XP and Linux Ubuntu 5.10, not same version of OOo. - work-around: don't make a table; or cut the table to be one per page: if the table is only one page long, the problem does not occur. - could be related to issue 60361 (drawing in table) but this issue has a work-around that doesn't seem to apply in 60361.
Created attachment 35148 [details] exemple file of the issue, produced on WinXP
Created attachment 35149 [details] corrected file with suggested workaround
MRU->OD: open the first attached document, try to place some of the objects in the center column (like they are positioned in the second document, but without grouping them), save document and reopen -> the objects are positioned at the right page border
retarget to OOo 2.x, because deadline of OOo 2.0.3 missed.
according to release status meeting -> 3.x
