Print (tables) - column1 field shifts to the right

Classic Servoy
1

I am using a simple 3 column tableview Form and click on Print Preview. It looks fine (all pages). I then click on Print (to a late model network printer … good drivers as far as I can tell and properly installed … it (Canon) has printed many 1000’s of sheets properly from many different applications).

The data in the first column (only on the last page of a multi-page report) shifts to the right part way down (see attached 40k image) for a couple of records and then it is back to normal.

This problem persists across different tables and ever since we began using Servoy back in Feb/Mar of this year.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Fixes? We’re at 3.5 rc3 now.

Java 1.5+.

I am afraid this could be the famous ‘w’ issue of Java.
I am not familiar with it but there are a lot of posts around this.

Marcel … thanks - noted the print indentation bugs … Transformer and Rendering problems at least in Java 1.4 bugbase postings.

BTW - Same problem occurs if sending directly to a PDF capture independent of the print driver … using the Windows System Printer screen or the native Servoy print dialog.

So it’s a non-print-driver issue for sure and buried merrily away in some Java class somewhere … :( :?:

Have a good weekend,

Heh, I remember seeing this from way back in the early days. I guess haven’t done a whole lot of direct printing from table views since then :)

Question: does this happen when you use the pdf plugin?

As far as I know this is also the case when printing to pdf.

Again, when I am correct, this is a font issue…

No THIS is the java-print-issue that is still present in java 5 & 6

use labels instead of fields.
Than it will go right!

David,

I didn’t use the PDF plug-in but when I print directly to a PDF capture (pdfFactoryPro … so I am completely ignoring the printer driver) the ‘w’ still indents … Servoy screen preview remains 100% accurate.
