[Issue 125802] New: Adding single quote to above paragraph spacing
replaces with different number
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125802
Issue ID: 125802
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Adding single quote to above paragraph spacing
replaces with different number
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: shull2013@my.fit.edu
Steps to replicate:
1.) Open a new word document
2.) Under the Properties View, change the value to 0.01
3.) Press Enter
4.) Under the Properties View, delete the provided "
5.) Replace it with '
This changes the value to 0.12 (without pressing enter), which is a valid
number, but invalid behavior.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer further advice without more details:
> 1.) Open a new word document
This means that you open a document in ODF or DOC format?
> 2.) Under the Properties View, change the value to 0.01
I don't see this dialog or item menu. Thanks to attach a screenshot to show
where input this value.

To reproduce, you must set in Tools > Options > Writer > General to "Inch"
Single quote (') is the symbol of feet unit
Double quote (") is for inch unit
So if you change for feet, Writer convert this new value into inch.
1 foot = 12 inches
This is not a bug but the normal behavior

See attached for picture.
I opened the document under default settings (untitled). I did not attempt to
save it.

Sorry, I forgot to add my version of the application defaults to Inches
(US/English).
I am a bit confused. I do not believe this should be normal behavior. When I
try to apply a single quote (which is foot), it converts the number from 0.01
to 0.12. But it still applies double quotes (") to the number.
Although this is a very slight visual problem, it is still a bug. I do not
think this is warranted behavior.
Correct behavior in this instance would be:
1.) Maintain the single quote (Ex: 0.01')
2.) Change the number back to 0.01".
3.) Change the number to 0.00
It should not change the number to 0.12", as this conflicts with similar types
of error handling from other types of instances. We can draw from examples
such as when trying to input a negative number it visually returns to the
default state (0.00) or how the text box handles rounding when trying to exceed
decimal and maximum limits (3.94 is the max in inches).
Consistent visual feedback is important to the user as it cuts down on
confusion when obvious error messages are not shown.
Now, I could be not explaining this correctly. If I need to, I can try to find
a free video software and demonstrate the bug that way... but I thought my
steps were clear and sufficient.
