Title: [ooo-build] OOo text rendering broken in transition from 3.0.1 to 3.1.0 Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org-base Hi, I have just tried the new openoffice 3.1 that will be adopted in Karmic. I have tried the jaunty version from the PPA (and bounced back to 3.0.1 immediately) OO 3.1 appears to have a huge problem that IMHO should be addressed before this version of OO is shipped with Karmic. I do not know if the problem comes from oo.org itself or from ubunutu's packaging or from the fact that ubuntu uses the go-oo version of oo and not the official one, but I suspect the first of the three. Problem is as follows: 1) Subscripts and superscripts have become completely unusable in draw, impress and in some occasions also in writer (I suspect that this also affects calc, but I have not tried) How to reproduce: a) Open an empty draw document b) Create a textbox c) write something in it containing a subscript see how the characters in the subscript are misplaced, one onto the other. Also note that while actually editing the subscript, the subscript temporarily looks fine The same applys to writer, as long as the text with the subscript is not the main text, but text in a box (e.g. text frame) 2) Text in box is misplaced (placed too low) How to reproduce a) open an empty draw document b) draw a rectangle c) write text into it Note how a margin is placed between the text and the top of the rectangle even if the vertical text margin is set to 0. This makes older documents look funny since boxes containing text that used to look fine, now have text that appears too low, sticking out of the box. Again note that when actually editing the text, it termporarily goes in the correct position Biggest issue is that the above problems not only affect screen display of documents, but also printed documents and exported PDFs. I would advise anybody who requires quality looking docs to stick to 3.0.1 until the rendering issues of 3.1 are fixed.
