layout editor coordinates not saved correct

[Herbert Voordes]

Server: 1.5.1
Client: 1.5
Web browser: IE, Chrome

Reproduce bug:
1. open layout and add region.
2. Region, option: Put in coordinates
3. Save the layout (if needed)
4. Re-open layout

Now you will see the coordinates are different from the ones you put in in the first place.

When looking at the database (table: layout, field XML); the coorinates are not stored correctly.

There is allways 1 pixel less than the given value.

For example: create region: option: left 0; top 148; width: 200; height: 300; it saves top as 147.

The problem is possible solved with removing the border (1px solid #000000) from the dom. The distance is possible calculated including the border. I think the solution is by putting the style in the CSS!

Can you confirm which resolution you are using? I cannot recreate the problem here.

[Herbert Voordes (hvoordes)]

I used different resolutions. We think it is in the border of the editor window. The border width = 1 and it is created by DOM (i think) So recalculating the coordinates wil give a wrong setoff of 1 pixel. You could try setting the editor border thrue CSS. Than the DOM calulations will not see the 1 pixel.

Kind regards,

I don't think its the border, it is more likely to be a rounding error converting from the designer resolution to the intended resolution - it is important that you answer my question because I cannot recreate the problem with the standard resolutions and the region sizing you have given.

[Herbert Voordes (hvoordes)]

I don't think its a rounding error. I changed the size of the editor to 1920x1080 and then i created the layout that fits exactly in these pixels. I have just installed a new environment and i'm gonna test it again as you say you cannot reproduce the problem. I'll write down all the steps so you can try exactly the same.
