[Feisty] Open Office writer 2.2 adds unremovable margins on top and bottom of any A4 portrait document when Chinese support is installed

Thank you for taking the time to file this bug report.

I am unable to reproduce this, could you please add a procedure to the description so I can attempt to reproduce this the same way you are?

Here is a screenshot I just made.

Basically, launch OO writer, Format>Page then set top and/or bottom margin to 0.

Although the ruler on the left shows no margin on top, the "frame" on the page where you can input text is not going to the top of the page. You'll notice that the left side, also set to 0, shows the right behaviour.

The same problem shows on another computer with Feisty (Herd 5 with all updates).

Locale is French. If you can't reproduce the problem, you could try under a french locale. Let me know if you need more detailed explanations (just for reference, you're trying this under Feisty, aren't you?)

Thanks

Yes, I tested this with Feisty Herd 5 and the latest updates (OOo 2.2 rc3)

I couldn't reproduce this with English (US) or French (Canada), attached is a screen capture of my result.

My procedure:

1) Open OOo Writer.
2) Format toolbar > Page...
3) Page tab > Format = A4, Top = 0.00cm.
4) Ok, Accept warning that it will be out of print range.
5) Format toolbar > Page... to show the page settings in the screenshot.

That's exactly the procedure I follow, except A4 is a default here (maybe because I chose French/France at install).

That might be the difference between our systems. The two computers I've tested have the same locales

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=fr_FR:fr:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

No problem on Feisty Beta - seems fixed.

The bug just showed again. I don't think it will show for everybody, but it showed for me after I installed Chinese locales and worked on a few pages.

Then I reopened a file I was working on and the bug showed again.

So even though it's not showing on a default install, working with scim on Chinese documents seems to trigger it after a short time (about one hour)

I am a newman in Openoffice. And I dont use Openoffice a lot.So I am
sorry, I cannot give your five.

Booting the live CD in Chinese triggers the bug
Installing Chinese support on any installed version on Feisty also triggers the bug (rebooting needed)
Removing Chinese support can solve the bug (after a few boots)

Anyone can reproduce the bug by booting a live CD and choosing Chinese as language

I can reproduce this bug.

Could someone please set the importance to "High" since it will affect a lot of users?

Seems to have been fixed short before Feisty's release
