GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 87936
field truncated in printout, not on screen
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
In gnumeric 1.0.5, I encountered a situation recently where the contents of a field fit fully in the field on screen, but were truncated when I printed out the spreadsheet. The field was actually four horizontal cells merged together. The contents were centered, bold text; I don't remember which font. When printed, the text was cut off on either end. Perhaps if I had resized the field to the optimal width by double-clicking on the column separator to the right of it, it would have been resized to a correct width for printing, but I couldn't do that because resizing to optimal width doesn't work properly for merged fields (about which I'm about to file a separate bug report). If, indeed, resizing to the optimal width would have solved the problem, then I suppose this is just a matter of screen display vs. printing and I shouldn't worry about it, but I thought I should file a bug about it just in case. Perhaps this is fixed in 1.0.8; I was not able to test this for certain because I couldn't remember what font it occurred with. I also couldn't test it in 1.1.x, because I can't compile 1.1.x on my machine yet because there's no RHL Rawhide package for gal 2.0 and I don't have time to compile that myself.
