[ODFPlugtest] Gouda plugfest: problem case with ODT frames encountered in OEP project

[Oliver-Rainer Wittmann]

Hi Willem-Jan,

we already had the possibility to talk at the end of the ODF Plugfest in
Gouda, NL last week about your layout problems in some detail.
I think I have already given you some hints in order to get more control
about the layout regarding the flow of text frames in OpenOffice.org resp.
Apache OpenOffice.

As promised I am planning to followup on your problems in more detail when
I have some resources left. Hopefully, I have some time in the next week.
I hope it is ok for the rest of the mailing list subscribers, if I post the
followup on this mailing list, because - as far as I have seen - the
problems are more or less related to applications which base on
OpenOffice.org code than they are related to ODF.
If not, please let me know.

Willem-Jan: Do not hestitate to ping me, if you have questions/comments/...


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
Oliver-Rainer Wittmann

Hi,

The problem case with frames concern for instance the inclusion of an image
with a title on top and additional remarks on the bottom. In the specific
situation that the image doesn't fit on the remainder of the page, it
automatically floats to the next page (what is good), but the positioning
of the frames with title, image and remarks become scrambled.

I've attached a small ODT file which demonstrates this behaviour. It first
shows a image with title and remarks which are rendered correctly position
to each other. A page further, in identical example is presented but this
time the image didn't fit on the remainder of the page and floated to the
next page. You can immediately see the resulting visual effects when opened
in openoffice or neo-office.

Please note, that the ODT isn't correctly zipped. The original ODT was much
larger, so I unzipped de ODT, manually removed as much content as possible
while keeping the problem case intact. I then zipped the ODT quickly by
hand without placing the file mime type as-is on the starting offset. In
our experience, this doesn't pose a problem for rendering such a document
in a word processor. The real system does do the final zip process
according to specification.

Regards,
Willem-Jan Veen
