Hi, I know it's not really productive to moan in bug reports, but you might want to take a look at the second paragraph in http://blogs.technet.com/b/office2010/archive/2010/02/01/office-2010 -improvements-for-cropping-pictures.aspx
In particular "Cropping was overwhelmingly the most-used bit of editing used on pictures, so one of the first things we started work on was making cropping an easier-to-use and more powerful tool." That matches my experience, but that assessment is obviously backed by tons of telemetry data from millions of users. I'm not really advocating for the grey-out style of cropping (in my opinion it was a regression rather than an improvement), but visual cropping of any kind is a very important feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491746 Title: [Upstream] No interactive crop in Writer Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org OpenOffice.org Writer in both Karmic and Lucid appears to lack the interactive crop feature.
