Collabora Office 21.06.24

Released on: April 6th, 2022

Fixes and improvements

PDF export: improve precision of pdf image sizes.This helps exporting full-page PDF images from Draw more accurately. In case the page size was A4, then the page height is 841.8897637795276 i.e. 842 points. Full-page PDF images are scaled to this size, so the referred PDF form XObject has the reciprocal of that scaling. We used to just write 0.00118, doubling the precision leads to 0.0011878840.In practice the old precision resulted in e.g. hyperlink rectangles to get out of sync with link text after 2 roundtrips, while the new precision doesn’t result in any noticeable modification to the link text position after a roundtrip.
Show image pixel size below logic size in Image Properties dialog
Fixed slow typing with version 7.1 or above on Windows 11 (Writer)
XLSX import: hide hidden named range of autofilter (tdf#127301)
ODT import: fix MSO-style <text:list text:continue-numbering="true">The ODF spec says that text:continue-numbering="true" should only continue the numbering in case the styles of the previous and the current list match.In contrast, Word continues the numbering even in case there is e.g. numbering, then bullets, then numbering again, in case the list styles of the two numberings are the same.Work this around at import time when the generator confirms that the document is coming from Word. At least Office 2019 and the latest renderer at office.com is affected.
Record sort command in macros (tdf#147761)
Custom field results of DocProperty fields from binary DOC are now preserved (tdf#147861)Microsoft Word does not update these fields when the document is opened and users expected the same behaviour.
