Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45835
page-style doesn't refresh after pagebreak on 1.9x
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Hi, The style of the page doesn't immediatly reflect the change after it has been changed with a pagebreak insertion in some case. Here is how to reproduce (on 2.0beta Linux Gtk at least) - Create new document - Create new pagestyle, for example, one with "landscape" orientation and colored background - fill the first page with carriage return (or anything else) and get the last line of the page filled with characters (like "aaaaaaaaa" etc.), so that the paragraph automatically continue on the next page. - click somewhere on the firstpage's lastline and insert a pagebreak with the new style. Depending on where you click (near the beginning or near the end of the line), the page may or may not change immediatly. Note that if it doesn't work, it's still correctly refresh after a new paragraph is inserted. This behaviour feels like the styles change hasn't worked because of lack of immediate feedback in some case. Correct behaviour is that the page style get always updated after the pagebreak insertion. This is very easy to workaround (simply add paragraph break to force its refresh), but still very confusing. Note that this was the same on 1.1.x so maybe it's a feature not a bug :) Thanks
Hi benji2, do i understand correctly that this problem is a screen-rendering-issue and apart from this minor defect OOo works correctly? I could not reproduce it with 'fvwm'-windowmanager on SuSE 9.2. Which distro do you use? Which window manager? Thanks, Max
Well, this is not only a screen-rendering, since the update is not applied at all (for example, you can go to PagePreview and see that the page is not updated at all). I attached a simple file for you to test. I had the bug on a RedHat 9 KDE (kwin), and now, i'm doing it on a Gnome 1.4 (sawfish 1.0). Note that i'm pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the wm nor the distro. On the attached file (pagebreak.odt), put the cursor between "><" and add a manual pagebreak with the style "Blue". Expected result: the next page is landscape mode with blue background. Got result: looks as if i added a simple "\n". Hope it can help
Created attachment 24339 [details] a small document with one custom style and which shows where to add the pagebreak
also altough i used Gnome1.4, i have an upgraded Gtk+ (2.4). Note that the bug occurs the same with the SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=False version, so it's not related to the gtk rendering either (it didn't feel so anyway)
MRU->FME: open the attached document. At the end of first page place cursor between "><". Via menu open 'Insert.Manual Brek' dialog. Select page break with new style "Blue" -> the style will not be applied in the document, though it is correctly set in Format.Paragraph.Text flow.
Hi, As i'm reviewing my bugreporst, i'll confirm that this bug still occurs in Office version 2.0.4, Fedora 4, KDE Thanks
This Issue requires more information ('needmoreinfo'), but has not been updated within the last year. Please re-test with one of the latest versions of OOo - the problem(s) may have already been addressed. Either use the recent stable version: http://download.openoffice.org/index.html or consider trying the new OOo 3 BETA (still in testing): http://download.openoffice.org/3.0beta/ Please report back the outcome so this Issue may be closed or progressed as necessary - otherwise it may be Resolved as Invalid in the future.

Hi, I didn't update because nothing progressed for the last two years. I tested again the example described above on 2.4 and 3.0beta, and the bug is still there. I'm not sure why it's tagged "needmoreinfo", since it's totally reproducible.
