Description theosib 2006-01-16 21:40:13 UTC 
I have a document I'm working on that needs precise vertical positioning of
characters.  The first problem I noticed was that OOo doesn't allow for a
negative spacing above/below the line.  So what I tried was a fixed linespacing
that was less than the character height.  I expected that two adjacent lines
would have their characters overlap.  Instead, I found that the tops of the
characters get chopped off.  If this behavior is intentional, please make it
selectable between overlapping vs. chopped off.

This is standard behaviour in all Word Processors. Thus it won't be changed.

But of course, it could be possible that an option to switch might be
implemented once.
