discussion is here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/what-is-the-base-for-cursor-x-position-in-basic/71827/8 reproducible from 4.1 to 7.4, change zoom factor is enough to change result of macro. Not sure if it's a bug, leaving unconfirmed. Hello Robert, a new major major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Hi Dieter. No unfortunately the behaviour is unchanged. ovc.getPosition().x should report the x-distance of the cursor from the left margin. Currently it still adds the blank space from the left edge of the LO window to the left edge of the paper.

Created attachment 177063 [details] Basic macro to report position of view cursor. The attachment is a simple basic macro to report the current x-position of the view cursor. The result should be the distance, in hundredths of a mm from the left margin. The actual result appears to include any blank space between the left edge of the window and the left edge of the paper.
