Hi, In Brno I would like to present my tools for automated detection and bibisection of interoperability problems between LO an MS Office. My method is currently of limited utility, because there is a problem with rendering of plain text, which affects most documents and overshadows other bugs. I managed to localized the problem by bibisection. I also wanted to investigate it more deeply, but was unable to compile that version. Thus, I would need help from you :). The problem resides in that the text layout changed (as bibisected using bibisect-43all): the first bad one * 59a69f7 - (2013-10-17 04:11:24 +0000) source-hash-48ad2f61fe71edc1a8967b322d3e0f368f4be06f - Bjoern Michaelsen (tag: source-hash-48ad2f61fe71edc1a8967b322d3e0f368f4be06f, refs/bisect/bad) the last good one: * 96f14f1 - (2013-10-17 03:51:54 +0000) source-hash-f0393d7ff69011a16b100541ef18e5090544e4a1 - Bjoern Michaelsen (HEAD, tag: source-hash-f0393d7ff69011a16b100541ef18e5090544e4a1, refs/bisect/good-96f14f1bf7505b59a2731dcba1615568f03fd68f) The spaces between characters are different now. The differences accumulate, eventually leading to different line wrapping - exactly this is the problem why my tests are nearly useless, because most of my test files are labeled as bad because of this. The problem is demonstrated by the attached files, which show pixel overlays of documents rendered in LO a MSOffice. There are some differences visible also in the 'good' file, but these are much bigger in the 'bad' one where they lead to different wrapping in the second paragraph. The files shows also another problem, different line spacing. This was perhaps inherited from OOO. The problem is perhaps not that important for users, but for my testing it is a blocker Thanks in advance for your help Milos -- Milos Sramek, msramek22@gmail.com
