Bug ID: 169111
Summary: Writer (and Draw) form checkbox: tick does not scale
at small sizes (e.g., 0.25 cm), not visible in PDF
export
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When creating a form in Writer and resizing a checkbox form control to very
small dimensions (e.g., 0.25 cm × 0.25 cm), the checkmark (tick) seems so
large, that only a small part of it is visable. The issue persists when
exporting to PDF; the checkmark there is not visible at all in the resulting
PDF, making compact form designs unusable.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Writer / Draw → View > Toolbars > Form Controls → enable Design Mode.
2. Insert a Check Box control.
3. Set its size to 0.25 cm × 0.25 cm (Properties > Position and Size).
4. Exit Design Mode and click to check it.
5. File > Export As > Export as PDF (default settings) and open the PDF in a
standard reader.
Actual Results:
- On screen: the tick is too large for the control, clipped or not visible.
- In PDF: the tick is not visible.
Expected Results:
The tick should scale proportionally to the control size so it remains fully
visible on screen and in exported PDF, even at 0.25 cm × 0.25 cm.
Reproducible: Always
