Bug ID: 167721
Summary: FILEOPEN DOCX: missing indent (leftChars=0 disables
style's leftChars and should use w:left)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: bisected, filter:docx, regression
Severity: normal
Priority: medium

GRAYSCALE=Word2019
This overlay image shows that the image should be approximately centred on the
page, but now (the red portion) shows that there is no indent before the image.
The w:drawing is an inline image positioned by a "List paragraph" style named
"a3". List Paragraph defines the indent as
<w:ind w:leftChars="400" w:left="800"/>
but this is overridden by direct paragraph formatting
<w:ind w:leftChars="0" w:left="760"/>
The indent broke with 25.8's commit fbb46a2fd940d1b5f4b2782708756f67659c0f38

tdf#83844 DOCX import: implement Ch-based LR indentation
Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/183066
Based on experimentation, leftChars=0 should DISABLE the use of Ch units and
tells the program to use w:left instead. (If I change the direct formatting to
leftChars=1, then the indent shows in the UI as 0.01ch, but with leftChars=0,
then the indent is shown as 1.34cm.)
Steps to reproduce
1.) open honeywell.docx (attachment 83635 from bug 67759)
The image should appear to be centred on the page because the paragraph has an
indent defined.
Not really a regression, since leftChars wasn't supported at all prior to
Jonathan's patch, but in this particular document ignoring leftChars is
correct.
Found by Collabora's mso-test.
