[Libreoffice] [sumuthu at novell.com: Re: [PATCH] for Bug 32719 (jeffrey chang)]

Hi Muthu,

1. Sorry, next time I will do that.

2. Yes I did adjust the multipliers because after several searches through
codes, I could not locate where Impress extracts data specific to each
template (eg. where does template Water get dimensions xx by xx for body, or
Glacier xx by xx for title), and I didn't want to change the template layout
files (.lyt), so I decided that the best place would be multipliers. Of
course, I made sure that this was a reasonable choice, because I understood
that all templates would be affected. From the looks of it, after reducing
the height and width of the body, it seemed to eliminakernel imagete the
oversized textbox leaking problems. Also, none of the other text boxes in
any of the other slides look uncomfortably small, so I find it as a viable
solution. (For those that do, consider the Master Page View, in which the
Template has to make accommodations for the footer, date, slide #
underneath). Lastly, if by blank template you mean the default template,
there is no problem. There has been no problems I can see of after making
the changes I did, apart from the bug I reported.

3. I realized that there were two sources for the observable problems. The
first was that some of the outline/body dimensions for the templates were
plain wrong and just too big. That was addressed in 2. But another problem
is that the slide layout is based on the Master Page View Outline, and for
some of them, the outline points were causing a problem. For example, if you
like at the buggy Wine template, the outline/body leaks way to far below the
slide. The reason is that when you go to Master Page view, the Ninth level
of bullet point is jammed and squeezed, resulting in over-extending the
outline text box to make room for it, hence the huge increase in height. If
you eliminate the ninth level, the problem is reduced after leaving Master
Page View. Originally I was going to remove the eighth and ninth level of
the outline to solve this problem, but I decided to with 5-9 for test and
forgot to reset it to remove 8-9. And since I think that rarely will some
have to go to the eight level of bullet points in a presentation, once again
this is a viable solution.

Sorry for the confusion and ambiguity. I hope this clears things up and the
patch is ok. Please reply if you see any more problems.

Thanks,
Jeffrey
