[Libreoffice-qa] QA and br-pt LibreOffice Magazine

[Marc Paré]

I was just wondering if anyone had ever thought of approaching the br-pt 
team who put together the LibreOffice magazine with regards to giving 
feedback of their use of Draw on such a large magazine project?

When I look at pages 2 and 3 of the magazine, whether in Draw v.4.1.5.3 
or v.4.3rc1, they obviously know of some editorial hiccups with spacing 
that we should be aware of. If you see the .pdf versions of the same 
pages, the weird spacing does not appear and is properly aligned unlinke 
the Draw version.

For example:

P. 2 bottom of page in Draw, the large text field exceeds the page 
boundaries; same with the masthead (text field on left), the text bleeds 
past the white column.

P. 3: the text for p.13 and the column for page numbers over 100 do not 
space properly in Draw, but look fine in the .pdf version.

And you can see more instances of more spacing issues in the magazine 
that seem a little strange in Draw but render properly in the .pdf form.

Anyway, my point is that, it may be worthwhile to see if some of the 
LibreOffice Magazine editors could give some feedback on some issues 
they have with putting the magazine together. At least the end result 
would be a more streamlined Draw module able to take on the task of 
magazine production work.

Cheers,

Marc
