Border around a paragraph is faulty (oowriter)
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:01 EST
Description of problem: Putting a border around a piece of text where some is indented causes multiple borders to be inserted Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.9.83-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type in some text, press return, insert a bullet list or number list 2. Select the text, click with right hand mouse button, select paragraph 3. Add a border, ensure that the merge option is selected Actual results: Multiple border blocks occur with an indent for the number list Expected results: A single border block should occur Additional info: If I don't use any form of indentation, the borders merge and everything is as expected.
This is one of my pet hates, this behaviour is unchanged since 1.1.X. The border is drawn around a paragraph the border distance from the paragraph indent, in this case the numbering adds some numbering indent to the left of the paragraph so the border draws that distance from the left of the para which breaks the single box around the two so you end up with staggered boxes. Given that this is how it already works for some years, there isn't a trivial fix taking old document behaviour into consideration. But perhaps something could be done in the future UI that when multiple paragraphs are selected that a common box could be determined and the individual contained paragraphs indent modified somehow to give a seemless box.
