Bug ID: 146590
Summary: Basic's Str function adding unnecessary blank space
before negative numbers
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: BASIC
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: rafael.palma.l...@gmail.com
Running the following code in Basic, the Str function is adding an unnecessary
blank space before a negative number. The extra blank space should be added
only to the positive number.
Sub TestStr
Print "'" & Str(10) & "'"
Print "'" & Str(-10) & "'"
End Sub
The code above returns:
' 10'
' -10'
However, running the same code above with Option VBASupport 1, I get the
expected result:
' 10'
'-10'
I do not see a reason why we would need to enable VBA support to get this
result.
This is being caused by the following code:
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/basic/source/runtime/methods.cxx?r=fffc6b40#1476
Which required bCompatibility to be enabled, or else a blank space is added to
the string regardless of it being a positive/negative number.
As a side note, running the code above with Option Compatible does not fix the
problem. Only adding Option VBASupport 1 fixes it. There seems to be some
problem with Basic enabling Option Compatible (see also bug 145753).
