Description Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2006-08-15 17:02:01 UTC
Description of problem:
When formating the text which contains the form feed (^L) character, the
page after the form feed starts with the first line empty.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
paps-0.6.6-5.fc5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Cteate the file test.txt, containing this:

this is before the form feed.
^Lthis is after the form feed.

(the ^L is the Control-L character, of course).
2. run "paps test.txt > test.ps"
3. view or print the test.ps file
  
Actual results:
The text "this is after the form feed." in the second page is printed
with bigger top margin than the text in the first page. The topmost line
on the second page is empty.

Expected results:
Both pages should have the text with the same top margin.

Additional info:
I am reporting this to RH Bugzilla rather than upstream, as the whole form-feed
handling is apparently a Fedora Extras packager's addition (thanks for it, I
really need to handle form-feeds correctly!).
