------- Additional comments from jbo...@openoffice.org Tue Nov 23 03:40:45 +0000 2010 ------- It is a fundamental typographical practice that the first text on a page should be flush with the top of the frame it is set into (look at any professionally set book or other publication). Writer violates this practice when "Paragraph->Indents & Spacing->Spacing->Above Paragraph" is set to anything other than 0 (zero). While it works fine when a paragraph starts in the middle of a page, if it happens to start at the beginning of a page or frame, then the specified whitespace is included before the paragraph at the top of the page or frame, when it should instead be suppressed. Ideally, an option could be provided to override such a default behaviour and provide backwards (broken, in my opinion) compatibility, but a modern word processor for use in professional environments should render vertical spacing properly. While this is a similar issue to 67690 in terms of its visible effects on the final document, it is a different problem altogether -- in this case it's rendering the paragraph without any space above it when it's at the top of a page/frame, where issue 67690 would require suppressing entire paragraphs (including their content and space above and below) when they only contained whitespace. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
