Bug ID: 149406 Summary: What is expected behavior of padding for characters, with and without borders? Product: LibreOffice Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: sdc.bla...@youmail.dk Created attachment 180505 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=180505&action=edit test of character position with padding and-or borders added to characters Two interrelated questions here. 1. In relation to positioning objects anchored ”to character”: What is the expected behavior for the size of the ”character” region in relation to padding: Should padding always be included? Or only when there is a border? Attachment contains a simple test case suggesting that the latter is the ”actual” behavior -- -- but what is/should be the ”expected” behavior in character positioning? 2. In relation to ”online help” for character padding: Does character padding always affect spacing around characters? Or only when borders are included? There is a suggestive statement in a guide page for character borders [1]: ”Select the distance between the border lines and the selected characters in the Padding area. You can only change distances to edges that have a border line defined.” but the help for padding [2] is ambiguous about whether a border must be explicitly added for padding to apply to ”character”. ”Padding Specify the amount of space that you want to leave between the border and the contents of the selection.” Note that [2] applies both for ”paragraph” and ”character”. In my experiments, ”padding” (w/o borders) does add space to text in ”paragraphs”, but NOT for ”character”. If that is the expected behavior, then the help page should probably include this information. (could not find other information about "padding" and "character" in online help.)
