------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Sep 5 14:59:44 +0000 2010 ------- wg states: "Moving objects with the arrow keys always moves them for 1 mm no matter what grid settings you have made." This is awkward in many regards; her are some of them: (1) When the grid is set to 1 inch (1 inch = 25.4 mm), the arrow keys will move the objects off the grid, e.g. you then cannot use the arrow key in order to move an object by exactly one inch! (2) If the this grid has 11 subdivisions (which is quite convenient) you cannot replace the use of the mouse by the keyboard in order to move objects stepwise by 1/12 inch. (3) The same problem occurs if the grid is set to 1 cm (1 cm = 10 mm) with 2 subdivisions because now the mouse will move objects by 1/3 of a cm but the arrow keys will not. In all other vector graphics environments which I know, the arrow keys respect the grid and its subdivisions. And of course all users expect OpenOffice.org to obey this convention. Otherwise there won't be so many false suggestions in the various OpenOffice.org fora. This is a really serious issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
