[Issue 126686] New: Page number displayed incorrectly when changing
font size
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126686
Issue ID: 126686
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Page number displayed incorrectly when changing font
size
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.1
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Minor
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: viewing
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: akonecny2013@my.fit.edu
When I entered the maximum amount of characters in size 2 font into Writer, and
then I selected all of the characters and change the font to 999.9, and then
repeated that process 3 or more times, every time I change to the larger font
the number of pages the document contains is shown to be less than actually
there.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hold any key down until you have about three lines of a character.
2. Select all of the characters, change the font to size 2.
3. Copy the selection and then paste until the program won't allow any more
characters.
4. Hit ctrl+a to select all of the characters, and then change the font to
999.9.
5. Record the number of pages used, which is displayed in the bottom left hand
of the screen.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 more than twice.
7. Notice how the page number is not constant unless you are to scroll down to
the last page.
Additional Details:
When I tested this, I let sufficient time pass after each font size change,
about ten seconds longer than it took the first time to change the font and
scroll to the bottom, which in every case had the page number sitting constant
for about 8 of those seconds.

Created attachment 85159
--> https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=85159&action=edit
Sample doc to test with
OS: Windows 10
Open Office 4.1.0 Build: 9764
I was able to re-create this bug by following these steps.
1. created the attached document
2. use ctrl+a to select all
3. change font to 2pt font, wait, change font back to 12pt font
This caused the current page and number of pages from the smaller font to be
displayed after changing the font to a larger font. This also cut off access to
the new pages for about 10 seconds, then Open Office displayed the correct
number of pages and current page. Suggested follow up tests should be done by
varying the difference in size between the smaller font size and the larger
font size, and the size of the document itself. This may lead to discovering a
relationship between font size difference/document size and the amount of time
Open Office displays the incorrect number of pages.

Page counting is done asynchronously and is probably more of an estimate unless
the end of the document is actually reached. The use of font sizes that are
not actually renderable on a single page is likely to confuse matters too.
It will be interesting to see what happens, when the page count appears to be
too low, when you do a Save As ... to a new file, close AOO, then open AOO with
the new file. Then wait until the page count stabilizes. Or go to the last
page using Ctrl-End. That should get there relatively quickly and provide the
correct count. (Try Ctrl-End in some of the demonstrations of the defect too.)
Another question: How disruptive is this in reality? The demonstrations are
all bizarre cases. Is there an issue with ordinary document working when the
page count should be able to keep up?.
Or is knowing how to get to the last page and check the count there good enough
as a practical work-around?

Replicated in OSX 10.10.5
My replication was very similar:
1) create a new writer document with X (not 'x', this is a variable.
Explanation below...) characters at 2 (or some other small) font.
2) highlight all the characters (I just used my mouse)
3) change the font size to anywhere between 600 and 999 using the [...] icon
above the font size box in the properties panel, to the right of the screen.
- If you change the font size using the text box itself, you aren't changing
directly to 999. You're changing to 9, then 99, then 999.
THE BUG:
At a font size of 600-999, one character should take up one page. If the page
count after changing the font is less than the number of characters, you're
seeing the bug.
Observe what happens in such a case as you continue scrolling downwards with
the scroll bar. When you reach what Writer thinks is the 'max' page, the 'max'
value will increment by ten. This repeats until you scroll down to the true
bottom of the document, at which point the page count will be correct.
On my machine, an X value of about 140 was the lowest I could go and still
observe issues. (it thought there were 132 pages). The problem exacerbates as
X->INFINITY. For example, at 10,000 characters, Writer only thought there were
209 page.
OBSERVATIONS (IMPORTANT):
Any arbitrary font size conversion I chose (2 to 300, 50 to 900) didn't seem to
change how the bug manifested. The ratio of the 'before' size to the 'after'
size merely has to be large enough that you're generating at least 140-200 new
pages. It didn't matter in my test cases whether I was jumping from 1 page to
200, or 200 to 400.

Since multiple people in this report were able to reproduce this bug, I am
moving it to confirmed.

OS: Windows 10
OpenOffice 4.1.2 Build: 9781
I was able to reproduce this bug following Andrew's steps with some slight
modifications.
Steps:
1. Type about 2 pages of characters in 12 pt font. (I just pressed the letter
"T" until I had a couple of lines and then copy and pasted until I had 2
pages.)
2. Press Ctrl + A to select all the text.
3. Change the font to 999.
4. Record the page number on the bottom left corner of the page.
5. Change the font back to 12.
6. Change the font back to 999.
7. Confirm that the numbers are different when they should be the same.
Details worth noting:
I noticed that it is not necessary to change the font to such a big number like
999. This will unnecessarily stress your computer. After a certain number, the
program only outputs one character per page. So anything bigger will still use
the same amount of pages. This number tends to be around 400 or 500 depending
on the width of the character. I noticed this when I switched the font size
from something like 500 to 900 and the page numbers did not change. (Note: This
only works with most letters. But when you try to do it with a letter like "I"
which has a small width you would need to go to a really big font size in order
to only see one letter per page.) The reason why I find this worth mentioning
is because this can help you know if the page number is accurate when working
with big fonts. When you work with a big font that only allows one character
per page, you can Ctrl + A to select all the text and go to tools > word count.
The number of characters should equal the number of pages. (Again, this is only
when you are working with huge fonts that only allows one character per page.)
Another important detail is that the number of pages of text you need in order
to see the bug will depend on how fast your system is. On a slower computer, I
could replicate the bug with only one page of text. On a faster computer it
took me 2 pages. What usually happens after you switch to a large font is the
page numbers will start to increase and then it will stop. Sometimes after you
move the scroll bar, the page numbers will change and only after this will it
show the correct number of pages.
