Michael Stahl commented on OFFICE-3847:
---------------------------------------

> 3) OO/LO behaves differently in text and presentation. Calligra has a common text engine, but we have made small adjustments to be a bit compatible with the OO/LO bug 

This is very sad, the duplication of having both Writer and EditEngine generally causes problems...

> 4) I've not been able to figure out why OO/LO does the linespacing differently when loading MS documents 
> (it saves the same cml but behaves differently) 

There are some configuration options that influence the formatting (at least in Writer);
these are stored in ODF in settings.xml.

For a new document these will have different values than for a loaded document in some MSO format.

Relevant for this issue could be these settings (and maybe others too):

-  "AddExternalLeading" (which the WW8 filter actually reads from the file,
    so it may behave differently for different existing .DOC files)
- "UseFormerLineSpacing" (although it appears not to differ in a quick test)
- "IgnoreTabsAndBlanksForLineCalculation"  (set true only in MSO import)

> Currently we have four independt ODF attributes defining our line-height in ODF.

> http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#property-style_line-height-at-least

> http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#property-style_font-independent-line-spacing 
> I would like to have feed-back from other implementors on the following:
> The first @fo:line-height is dereived from the W3C formatting object specification, 
> http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#line-height here we should make clear the "normal" for office documents is equal 100%, not as in browser between 110 and 130% 
> The second @style:line-height-at-least is an extension of the W3C attribute to have a better OOXML interoperability.
> The third @style:line-spacing is equal to 'leading' (not from leader, but from the metal 'lead', as during ancient print there was added a line of lead between the letters), it is specifiying the space between lines.
> The last one @style:font-independent-line-spacing is only used by implementations for presentations, to have a similar layout during the change of the font.
> AFAIK all ODF implementations are using these values exclusivly. 
> I suggest to either make them exclusively in the RelaxNG, or to specify a precedence (or collision) handling. What happens if two attributes exist at the same time?
