------- Additional comments from amayem_cse73...@openoffice.org Wed Jan 26 16:08:35 +0000 2011 ------- I have reproduced the issue, and believe I understand why the problem occurred. The tests are all in the attached document and can be copied and pasted. Environment Mac OSX 10.5.8 Open Office 3.2.1 Build 9502 Steps are as follows: 0. Setup: 0.1 Click on File -> New -> Text Document 0.2 Click on View -> Toolbars. If Drawing is not checked the select Drawing shortcuts A: When I say copy and paste the lines it means: A.1 click on cursor icon in drawing toolbar A.2 click on one line A.3 click on the other lines while holding shift key A.4 press Apple+C A.5 Unselect the lines by clicking to the side of the lines A.6 paste by pressing Apple+V I did 10 tests: Test 1: two perpendicular lines 1.1 click on line icon in the toolbar 1.2 draw horizontal line while holding down shift key 1.3 draw crossing vertical line while holding down shift key. 1.4. copy and paste the lines. Result successful Test is repeated using other formations as can be seen in the attached document in more details. The 'problems' starts to appear when the lines have different anchor points as seen in tests 6,7 and 10. Because of the different anchor points when we paste from one area the alignment is off. To ensure alignment do as in test 8 and 9. In test 8 we anchored everything to the page. Thus it didn't matter how we aligned the lines they would be pasted from the same anchor point and thus maintain alignment. In test 9 we changed the anchor from test 8 back to paragraph (details are in the attachment), which made the anchor of all the lines from the same paragraph. In test 10 we used the same shape from test 9 and only changed the anchor of one line. When pasted that line was the only one misaligned. >From these tests one possible theory is that when drawing the lines, depending >on where we start drawing the lines, the lines will have different anchor points. When we select them all we assume the group has a common anchor point. When pasted, the program pastes it properly according to the anchor points. I do not think this is a defect. If a user wishes to paste with maintained alignment then he can anchor to page or group the lines which gives the lines a common anchor. If this is causing more problems it might be good to mention it as a tip from the helper. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
