Issue ID: 126694
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Grammatical error in the rotate function input field
Product: Impress
Version: 4.2.0-dev
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Minor
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: ui
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
My current system hardware is as follows:
Windows 10 Pro
Intel Core i7-6600U CPU @ 2.60GHz
8GB DDR3 1333 RAM
Nvidia GeForce GPU
Steps:
1. Open Oo Impress and create a new presentation.
2. Select a text box by clicking on its edge.
3. On the tab by the right hand side of the slide, drop down the "Position and
Size" menu by clicking the "+" sign.
4. Highlight the rotation input field, type "1" and press enter.
The input field changes the input "1" to "1 degrees" exposing a grammatical
error.
While this is evidently not a major issue that interferes with this great
program's functionality, it could make a substantially-positive impact on both
the product and OpenOffice’s image to the eyes of the user, by showing an
impeccable attention to detail.
It is also relatively easy to fix, either by adding a special condition that
changes to "degree" for a singular integer (1), or by using the degree symbol
(°) which would also save the space used to type the full “degrees” string,
making the interface less cluttered and more pleasing to the eyes. This would
also be more consistent with the rest of the fields on the tab which use the
inch symbol (").
In addition, I compared it with Microsoft Powerpoint, and found that it used
the degree symbol instead. Screenshot illustrating the issue on both programs
are attached below.
