Description R. Green 2019-12-12 14:05:40 UTC
1. Draw a horizontal line less than 1 cm long.
2. In the "Position and Size" dialogue (docked), put the cursor at the end of the "Width" field and backspace so that only "0." is left.

Expected / Actual result: The line disappears.

3. Now enter a figure after the decimal point, or use the spin arrows to regenerate the line.

Expected result: the line should reappear again, reflecting the new value after the decimal point.
Actual result: The line has disappeared permanently. You have to UNDO to restore the line.

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can not reproduce the bug in

Just to clarify: by "can not", do you mean "cannot" or "can now"?

I CAN duplicate it in this version. The same thing happens if, at step 2 (above), you use the down-spinner to reduce the line to "0.00". Once at zero, you cannot regenerate the line by any means from the "Position and Size" dialogue.

Repro on Win and Linux. Already in 4.4, so I think this in an implementation error when Position and size section was added into the Sidebar.

Yes, the issue is still extant.

1. Create a line.
2. Reduce width to zero in the "Position and size" section of the sidebar.
3. Now increase the width again in the sidebar.

ACTUAL RESULT: The line does not regenerate.

EXPECTED RESULT: The line should appear again.

Dear R. Green,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
