Description HansPL 2011-08-02 03:15:41 UTC

Created attachment 49819 [details]
A simple test case.

Another old inheritance from OOo https://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115997 ...

In Writer,  when I use paragraph background color AND some spacing below
paragraph AND a wide border,  the background color extends too far above the
paragraph and may even overlap the preceding paragraph.  

See attached document backgroundcolor.odt and screenshot backgroundcolor.png .

Observed since many OOo versions in Win XP and Linux.

Confirmed for LibreOffice 3.4  340m1(Build:103) on OpenSuse Linux.

To reproduce the bug for yourself, download the attachment and add background colors to some of the already displayed paragraphs.

1. View -> Tools-> Formatting (Turn it on)
2. Highlight bottom paragraph in third set, apply color (eg blue). No problem yet.
3. Highlight top paragraph in third set, apply color (eg green)
4. Blue Highlighted paragraph leaks into the second

Thanks for the screenshots and document.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:

Comment 4 sasha.libreoffice 2012-01-30 04:30:11 UTC

reproduced in LibO 3.6.0 master on Fedora  64 bit
to reproduce, open first attachment, scroll text to most up, then to most bottom
problem appears if in Paragraph property:
 spacing "above paragraph" < "below paragraph"

Comment 5 A (Andy) 2013-05-02 20:10:14 UTC

reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

Comment 6 HansPL 2013-10-07 12:20:39 UTC

Still defunct in LO 4.1.2.3 !

Comment 7 HansPL 2014-09-16 07:24:38 UTC

Three years now and no response…?  Like for many other annoying small bugs.  

How about a really resolute bug fixing release?
