Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 95472
splash screen "intro" distorted in some cases
Last modified: 2013-07-29 17:55:14 UTC
On one system of three tested, the intro splash screen is skewed (screenshot to be attached). The native screen size is 1280x720 (16:9 aspect ratio). This does not happen on the two other systems tested (both 4:3 aspect ratio). It does happen even if the screen dimensions are changed (with randr) to a 4:3 aspect ratio (xquery -r reports expected values in each case). It happens under KDE 3, KDE 4, IceWM, and TWM. If /usr/share/ooo3/program/intro.bmp is replaced by the version from ooo2 or by a .BMP generated from the very different looking "splash screen ... for OpenOffice.org 3" at http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=455&expandFolder=455&folderID=455 the problem does not occur. Seems to be some interaction between screen dimensions, BMP structure or dimensions, and oosplash.bin.

Wrong component. Reassigned.
There is no such thing as "oosplash.bin" in OpenOffice.org. Also it does not install to /usr/share. Looks like you got yourself an go-oo build either from your distribution or from go-oo directly. thb: that seems to be your baby
Taking this bug, it's my area ;-) blilly: I wonder, what is the bpp (bits per pixel) of the X server on the affected machines? And what is the exact version of OOo you are running? I've fixed such an issue already, but might have happened that I omitted some cases. To get the bpp, run: xdpyinfo > output.txt and attach the file output.txt here to this bug. I'm not sure what distro are you using, but ideally, I'd be interested in something like rpm -q OpenOffice_org [for rpm-based distro where the name of the package is OpenOffiece_org - eg. openSUSE ;-)], or start OOo, Help -> About OpenOffice.org and paste here the last line (Build: x.y.z).

Distribution is openSuSE 11.0, Update from the 3.0.0.3.5-1.1-i586 rpm in the OOo:Stable community repository. rpm -q OpenOffice_org yields: OpenOffice_org-3.0.0.3.5-1.1 Help | About... shows OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 OOO300m9 (Build:9358) ...Novell... Build 3.0.0.3.5
Same problem reported in Debian bug tracker: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513746 Possible caused by having an odd horizontal size for the bmp image? Resizing the image to an even horizontal size fixed the problem for me.
