It often happens for text horizontally scaling 90% and below and with Min. Glyph Extension below 100%.

I can verify that this happens with Windows 7 x64 and Windows Vista using V1.3.8. As the Glyph Extension is reduced the problem gets worse.

I notice also that some right distance from frame edge make this bug appears without touching Glyph Extention.

wrong_formating_overflow.patch solves also https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=9779 [^] [ 9779: Compounding column margin /w image contour ]

It is maybe not perfect, sometimes one char still can jump out of available area, but Scribus works with that patch meaningful better.

Not good... after patch formatting lines with DropCap is broken when some other frame with text overflowing is placed at top on whole column width and DropCap is in first line below it.

Work in progress...

Seems I am at the end of that difficult road... Proof in attached solved2.jpd, which you can compare with also attached Document-1.sla
Don`t upload patch yet because I must to do some cleaning of code.
Stay in touch...

Patch is here.
I test it, but you must also check it with your files before commit.

It is solving problems with text extending available area (margins, columns gaps) and unwanted add frame text distances to overflow area.

Crossing fingers about it will work good...

I have found new small issue, so wait for new version.

BTW even now this patch solves 0009932: First text line does not flow around objects

Small issue was a big elephant...

But now I can introduce you new patch fixing all biggest formatting issues:
- text extending margins
- unwanted adds of text indents and margins to overflow areas
- parts of glyphs in overflow areas (when edge is not 0 angle to text)
and few smaller formatting issues I have found during preparing that solution.

BTW I have found that formatting using integer coordinates of glyphs and page items positions can gives us low quality of it (for example 0009902 may be that kind of bug - to low precision)
 I know - changing whole computing to floating precision can be deadly solution for machines with low computing power, but maybe it could be set in preferences and user will decide what is his goal - comfortable speed or best quality.

Err.. just testing this.. I am seeing the same behaviour as screen.jpg after applying formatting.patch... is this the right patch?
(0026491)
cezaryece (developer)
11-Jun-27 15:03

Yeah, you are right, fixing one issue other were broken... sorry.
Now I have patch more tested.
In the meantime I have found issue with top/bottom margins not working properly.

By the way I have change sensibility of text for frame height, so bottom text lines are rendered if in frame is space for it. Current behaviour is more restricted about frame height and line is not rendered even if there was space in frame for it.

Cezary, where are you up to with this patch? If it really is going to solve 3 bugs, we should get it in SVN, once it covers them all properly.
