BUG: XSL and textbox borders

[Pedja]

Steps to reproduce:

 

1. In a new document create Static Text field (you can keep the 'Static text' content)

2. Change all the borders to thin (or anything else but None)

3. Copy the field and paste it (or create a new one with thin borders)

4. Put it on the right side of the first static text, and make sure it is NOT aligned perfectly with it (move it down 10px)

5. Compile and run the report as XSL file.

 

The borders are all screwed up. This makes building non-elementary table headers impossible if XSL is required. Is there a workaround? I have tried with drawing the table header with rectangles but they do not show at all in the resulting file. This is probably a bug in POI library, my version is poi-3.0-rc4-20070503.

 

Thanks for any help.

Update:

 

With poi-3.0-rc4-20070503.jar Excel showed partial borders on each element, but when I upgraded it to poi-3.0.1-FINAL-20070705.jar it no longer shows any borders, only text! This happens even with single element on report.

 

Edit:

 

With POI 3.0.1 thin borders are not visible at all (PDF or XSL), 1 point borders are visible but still behaving strange.

Edit:

 

The bug is due to magnet, because it brings together two fields but sometimes with 1px error, so overlaping elements have screwed up borders. Took me a while to figure this out.
