GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 650261
Cells not aligned properly when printing

Created attachment 187871 [details] Shows the problem I've made a normal menu design in Gnumeric for a client and the cells are lined up properly when editing the document, but when I print preview or print, the cells become misaligned and look pretty bad. Attached is an image that shows the problem, although it happens in many other places in the document - though far from all places. I've tried changing alignment of the text inside to bottom, top, center, justified, etc - the cell alignment fails regardless.
(Note; red circles added with GIMP on top of screenshot to better illustrate the problem)
Would you be able to provide the corresponding gnumeric file?
The only way to achieve the effect in your image is when I set the background of the price cells to white but not the background of the item description. In that case I do see the effect when printing and previewing but also in the sheet view itself.
There seems to be two issues: 1) Cells with white background appear to slightly overlap into the row above compared with cells with clear background. This is visible both in the original sheet view and to a lesser extent in the print preview. 2) In print preview backgrounds for merged cells don't line up with backgrounds of the unmerged cells in the same row. This is not visible in the original sheet view but is visible in the print preview. See the attached sample file. I assume that this bug report is about situation (2).

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
