Bug #: 44990
Summary: Grid misalignment in Copy and Paste (regression in
3.5.0 wrt 3.4.x)
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 Beta3
Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Drawing
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: sergio.calleg...@gmail.com
Suppose that I am drawing something with the grid on and that I have carefully
aligned an object on grid. Now suppose that I need to duplicate such object.
In 3.4.x I can copy the object (select + ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v). The so
pasted objects does perfectly overlap the original object and can then be moved
to its final location.
LibO 3.5.0beta3 when pasting tries to improve over 3.4 behavior by assuring
that the pasted object does not perfectly overlap the original one. This can be
convenient in that it avoids having identical overlapping objects that hide
each other.
However, the logic used by LibO 3.5 to achieve this behavior is flawed and ends
up being extremely inconvenient (and thus a regression wrt 3.4.x). In fact, the
pasted object is not anymore aligned on grid, which makes it a pain to put it
in its final location.
LibO, when pasting should assure that things that are aligned to grid remain
aligned to grid. Specifically, a skew is inserted to avoid overlapping objects,
this should be a multiple of the grid step.
