Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer

3) What is expected to happen is when one clicks the horizontal ruler in effort to set up consistent margins, tab stops, and paragraph indents, it snaps to the markers.
4) What happens instead is they have complete freedom of movement.
WORKAROUND: Click Format -> Paragraph... -> Indent & Spacing tab and choose desired indents.
WORKAROUND: Use AbiWord.
apt-cache policy abiword

On the ruler, one can setup tab stops. However, the tab stops are not snapping
at specific intervals like if there was a grid. They are free floating, which
make them difficult to manage and set them at a proper place, specially when
working on a high resolution screen. By default, they should snap, snapping
should be an option that can be enabled/disabled and the interval for the snap
grid should be configurable.
