[ooo-build] Weird border around images in OpenOffice.org Impress (not an upstream bug, but a bug in the Ubuntu patches)

[Sebastian Bergmann]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-impress

I am seeing a weird border around images when watching a presentation in fullscreen mode. These borders are not intended to be there and I do not see them in the editing window.

I am experiencing this issue with both the default OpenOffice.org 3.0 version that ships with Jaunty as well as with the OpenOffice.org 3.1 package (3.1.0-3ubuntu2~jaunty1).

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Can you please attach an example document exhibiting this problem? I can't seem to reproduce this problem.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

I can't reproduce this issue with OOo 1:3.1.0-3ubuntu2 in Karmic. I have attached a screenshot showing what it looks like on my system.

[Sebastian Bergmann (sb-sebastian-bergmann)]

I don't see this issue with OOo 1:3.1.0-3ubuntu2 in Intrepid on another box.

Could this be machine specific, maybe video driver related?

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Maybe, but does moving/removing ~/.openoffice.org* help though? It could be some obscure configuration option that is doing it.

[Sebastian Bergmann (sb-sebastian-bergmann)]

A fresh ~/.openoffice.org* does not fix the issue for me.

[Mikael Nilsson (mini)]

I can reproduce this on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop, integrated intel video.

Turning hardware acceleration off, the border disappears. (Tools-Options-View)

[Mikael Nilsson (mini)]

Confirmed, using attached presentation.

[Sebastian Bergmann (sb-sebastian-bergmann)]

Turning off hardware acceleration also works around the issue for me.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Appears to be an issue with the intel driver.

[goo25 (cvivanco)]

Same problem with nvidia, on a dell xps1330. Disabling hardware accelaration fixes this problem.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Weird, well, I'd like to forward this issue upstream, but first it must be retested on latest development version of Karmic to make sure the issue still happens there with the latest code. ISO images are available at http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/. If you can reproduce it in the LiveCD environment, you shouldn't need to modify your installed system. Also please attach a fresh Xorg.0.log and dmesg from this testing.

[Sebastian Bergmann (sb-sebastian-bergmann)]

I tried the daily live image of Karmic today and the problem is still there.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hi Sebastian, thanks for testing that - can you also attach a fresh Xorg.0.log, so we can provide that when upstreaming the bug?

Sebasian, I've forwarded your bug upstream to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22992 - please subscribe to that bug in case upstream needs further information or wishes you to test something. Thanks ahead of time.

[Carl Worth (cworth)]

Thanks for the bug report, Sebastian and Bryce.

The bug may or may not be specific to something in the Intel driver.

I believe that OpenOffice.org is not using cairo for drawing in the window, but using cairo when drawing in fullscreen. So it may simply be that it's misusing cairo slightly in this case, (there's a fairly simple mistake when using cairo that's easy to make that would result in an effect like this).

I'm interested in tracking down the issue, so I'll investigate and see if I can reproduce it.

Looks likely to be a driver issue. I just ran Debian unstable's
OpenOffice.org on both a 945GM and a GM965 and sure enough, the buggy
behavior appears on the 945GM but not the GM965.

For my next step, I'll run the latest version of the cairo test suite
against both chipsets and see what differences occur. Hopefully, this
bug will be one of those differences, which will then give us a nice
and tiny test case for digging deeper into this bug.

This is not a problem only for intel users since I see the same thing on my macbookpro running ubuntu 9.04 (GPU is an integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, driver is 185.18.14). I don't have this problem on the desktop (GeForce 7300 GS, driver 190.25). I can confirm that the problem is gone when hardware acceleration is disabled.

[Carl Worth (cworth)]

Chris Wilson has recently been fixing driver bugs in this area, (extend modes,
etc.), so I'm re-assigning this bug to him.

Having stepped through the cairo calls (and been quite offended by the trace), OpenOffice really does draw a black border around the presentation. So whilst we do have a number of bugs regarding texture sampling and extend modes on i945, this is not one of them.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Upstream traced through the logic and determined that indeed it is OOo that is drawing the black border, not the X driver. Bumping back to OOo.

[Guillaume Pratte (guillaumepratte)]

I confirm the bug with Karmic and my i945 chipset. Upgrading to the latest version of the intel driver (v. 2.10 after much tempering to the system), did not help.

I reverted my changes (back to driver v. 2.9) and instead installed official debian packages from openoffice.org (version 3.2). It fixed the problem.

I wonder if the bug is not in some Ubuntu-specific patch to OpenOffice by Ubuntu....

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Confirmed in lucid alpha 3 with OOo 1:3.2.0~rc4-1ubuntu1

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Turning hardware acceleration works around the bug for me too

[Guillaume Pratte (guillaumepratte)]

I notice that Firefox is doing exactly the same thing when displaying some images, for ex :

http://yasirimran.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/windows_xp_logo.jpg

The bug is present when the image is resized to fit the screen, but not when the image is "zoomed".

This seems to indicate the problem might be in some shared library or somewhere in X.

[Sebastian Bergmann (sb-sebastian-bergmann)]

Issue is still present in OOo Impress 1:3.2.0-4ubuntu3 (Lucid Lynx).

[Guillaume Pratte (guillaumepratte)]

Installing OOo from upstream .deb fixes the issues, indicating the bug is somewhere in the Ubuntu patches...

Are you sure? I am seeing this bug under both debian testing (intel 945) and opensuse (3.1.1 Build 9319, NV)

Opensuse output:

Hum... Then two hypothesis :
 - the problem is with the Go-oo version 3.1, and Official 3.1 does not have the problem (not tested);
 - the problem is with 3.1, since Official 3.2 does not have the problem (tested).

[Alex Moldovan (alexmoldovan)]

I can confirm this bug in Ubuntu 10.10 using OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 OOO320m19 (Build:9505), ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Ubuntu package 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1. However, in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, using the 3.2.0 Ubuntu package 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu1 the border lines are not visible.

[otakuj462 (otakuj462)]

I can confirm this in Ubuntu 10.04 OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 OOO320m12 (Build:9483), 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1. For graphics, I have the following:
Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller
