Description elnjwei 2004-02-26 21:31:55 UTC 
When a (part of) a drawing is copied to another (non OOO-) application (by 
selecting it and Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v), then it turns out that curved parts become 
distorted (segmented + sometimes changed shapes)
In addition, copying is only "correct" for thin lines. When I change the 
linethickness in Drawing from 0.00 to (f.i.) 0.04 or 0.05 cm, the copied 
drawing (not in an OOO-application) has some lines that are still thin and 
others are correct. The distortion of curved lines is also more visible for 
thick lines.

Comment 3 wolframgarten 2004-02-27 13:54:29 UTC 
I have tested your drawing and found that a lot of lines in your drawing are
actually connectors and not pure lines. Because of that they show some kind of
"life of their own". Connectors have a build-in ability to find ways when you
move them in a flowchart. You will se what I mean when you increase the width of
your complete drawing.
Nevertheless we copy'n'paste lines and connectors having the same width in OO
into Word with a different width. This is reproducible.
Reassigned to Christian. Please have a look. Thanks.

Closed. Thanks for your help.
Comment 8 elnjwei 2004-03-02 21:25:21 UTC 
Thanks for your quick response, but I do not understand why this issue (25933) 
is marked as a duplicate of issue 3469. I also observed the problem as 
described in issue 3469, but is that problem the same one as I reported? ( 
=line-widths not (all) copied correctly and distorted when pasted into MsWord, 
via the menu-item "paste special")
Comment 9 wolframgarten 2004-03-03 11:06:48 UTC 
Issue reopened.
Comment 10 wolframgarten 2004-03-03 11:09:31 UTC 
Sorry, you were right. This is not exactly the same problem.
Reassigned to Thorsten for having a closer look. Sizing up the original drawing
before copy'n'pasting did not help very much.
Comment 11 thb 2004-03-15 09:50:00 UTC 
Yes, can reproduce that. The reason for this behaviour is a rescaling of the
polygons to a different mapping mode, required for EMF, and the fact that we
currently don't really support stroked line for vector graphics export.

This issue was correctly targetted 'OOo later' and prioritized as 'P4' by
Wolfram, so 'elnjwei', please stop tweaking that fields.
