[Bug 121116] New: Page margins change unexpectedly when changing
from Landscape to Portrait
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121116
Priority: P3
Bug ID: 121116
Assignee: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
Summary: Page margins change unexpectedly when changing from
Landscape to Portrait
Severity: normal
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Application
OS: All
Reporter: mgaertne@googlemail.com
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: AOO 3.4.0
Component: formatting
Product: presentation
OpenOffice version: 3.4.0 Build 9590
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.8.2
Reproduction steps:
1. Open Impress, create a new empty slide deck with German A4 settings
for the page layout (28.00 cm wide, 21.00 cm high)
2. Open the Page Format dialog through menu Format -> Page...
3. Change the left page margin to 2.00 cm, leave the other margins at 0.00 cm.
4. Change slide orientation from Landscape to Portrait
The page margin left changes from 2.00 cm to 0.35 cm. Page margin
right turns to 0.35 cm as well. Page margin top changes to 0.18 cm,
page margin bottom to 1.16 cm. I would have expected the margins to
either stay the same when changing the orientation, or that the left
page margins moves to the top margin.
I also receive a similar effect when starting from page margin left of 3.00 cm,
and changing the orientation, but with different values. Follow-up tests I also
tried are with extreme values like page margin left close to page width, but
that didn't reproduce the problem. The same goes with extreme values like 0.00
cm.

--- Comment #5 from Walid Warde <wa...@yahoo.ca> ---
I was able to reproduce this bug.
Test Environment
OpenOffice version: 4.1.1 Build
Operating System: Windows 7
Steps to reproduce the bug
1. OpenOffice application:
Click on presentation icon to Open Impress
2. Presentation Wizard:
Choose any of the three types to create or open an exsisting
presentation: Empty presentation, From Template, or Open an
existing presentation.
4. Menu bar: Click View -> click Normal
Click on Normal, Notes, or Handout icon
5. Menu bar:
click Format -> click Page…: this will open the Page Setup
dialog
6. Page Setup dialog:
A)Paper format:
For the default options for Format: “Screen”, the Width,
and Height are (28.00 cm, and 21.00 cm). The default slide
orientation is “Landscape”.
B)Margins:
For the default options for Format: “Screen”
The default values for Left, Right, Top, and Bottom are
(0.00 cm, 0.00 cm, 0.00 cm, and 0.00 cm).
NOW:
1.Change the left page margin to 2.00 cm, leave the other margins at
0.00 cm.
2.Change slide orientation from Landscape to Portrait
Actual Results:
The margins values for Left, Right, Top, and Bottom
change from:
(2.00 cm, 0.00 cm, 0.00 cm, and 0.00 cm)
to:
(0.64 cm, 0.63 cm, 0.30 cm, and 0.50 cm)
Expected results:
We expect that changing the orientation should not
change the margins values to a totally different values.
The Left, Right, Top, and Bottom values (2.00 cm, 0.00
cm, 0.00 cm, and 0.00 cm)should stay the same without
any changes or should change to (0.00 cm, 2.00
cm, 0.00 cm, and 0.00 cm) when changing the orientation
from Landscape to Portrait.
Note:
Changing the slide orientation after Changing any of the page margin values
(Left, Right, Top, or Bottom) to any values rather than 0.00 cm, always results
in changing the page margin values to the new fixed values (0.64 cm, 0.63 cm,
0.30 cm, and 0.50 cm).
Note:
The same issue exists for the Format option: “User”.
Note:
The same issue exists for View menu (Notes page, or Handout page) and the
Format option: “Screen” or “User”.

[Bug 121116] Page margins change unexpectedly when changing from
Landscape to Portrait

--- Comment #4 from Stephan <th...@seasidetesting.com> ---
Test Environment
Mac OS X 10.7.5
OpenOffice 3.4.1 (Build 9593)
Observation about the format
In my environment there are two different predefined paper formats.
1. Format: Screen, Width: 21.00 cm, Height: 28,00 cm (in Portrait), all margins
set to 0,00 cm
2. Format: A4, Width: 21.00 cm, Height: 29,70 cm (in Portrait), left, right &
top margin: 1.00 cm, bottom margin 1.45 cm
It's not entirely clear to me which of these two formats (if any) was used in
the original report and follow-up commenter.
Observations while not altering the Margin fields:
* For a new presentation the format is pre-set to Screen/Landscape.
* Height and Width are swapped when I change from Portrait to Landscape
orientation, independent of the selected format.
* No margins are changed when changing the orientation as long as no other
changes are made, in particular the margins for the 'A4' format stay the same.
* Going from 'Screen/Landscape' to 'A4' without changing the orientation sets
the right margin to 1.45cm and the other margins to 1.00cm.
* Going from 'Screen/Landscape' to 'Screen/Portrait' and then to 'A4' set the
right margin to 1.45cm and the other margins to 1.00cm.
* Going from 'Screen/Landscape' to 'A4' and then changing from Landscape
re-sets the margins as mentioned above. Changing to Portrait while staying in
'A4' leaves the margins unchanged.
I'd expect the same state independent of the order in which format &
orientation are changed.
Some follow-up tests
* Start with a new presentation, the 'Page Setup' is as in point 1. above
* Leave the orientation setting in Landscape
* Entering anything a left margin LM > 27,50 cm automatically adjusts the value
to 27,50 cm no matter whether I click the OK button and redisplay the Page
Setting dialog or leave the text field using the TAB key.
* Negative values entered are changed to 0,00 cm.
Now change the orientation while the format is 'Screen'
* When the pre-set margins are not altered by the user, changing the
orientation form the pre-set Landscape to Portrait, the margins are not
changed.
* Entering (for example) 1.00, 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00 cm for the left, right, top
and bottom margin before changing the orientation to Portrait sets the margins
to 0,64 cm for the left, right and top margin and the bottom margin to 1,45 cm.
Using 'A4' as the Paper format
* Start with a new presentation and change the paper format to 'A4' before
doing anything else
* Entering a value of 0.63cm (or one that's rounded down to this value) for the
left, top or bottom margin yields a warning dialog saying "The margin settings
are out of print range". For the right margin the lowest value not triggering
this warning is 1.45 cm.
