Bug ID: 159491
Summary: In LO Draw, 'Standard Connector' route preview is
unreliable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.9.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When moving a connector line ('Standard Connector') in LibreOffice Draw, the
preview of the connector does not follow the same route as the connector
finally takes when the mouse is released. Somehow the routing calculation must
be different.
Additionally, the route taken by connectors is often very odd and attempts to
correct the line routing (as per above) are also very temperamental.
Efficient and intuitive line routing is not a trivial topic -- quite some
complex maths involved to do it properly. But it would be a big boost in the
usefulness of LO Draw to have this done well -- a la Visio type functionality.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create new Drawing
2. draw a blue box top left
3. draw another blue box bottom right
4. create 'standard connector' from bottom of top-left box to top of bottom
right box. the connect should have three line segments, vertical then
horizontal then vertical.
5. select the connector
6. drag the midpoint connector handle up and down.
Actual Results:
while dragging the connector, it flips to a vert-horiz-vert configuration, but
when you release the mouse, it reverts to a horiz-vert-horiz connector again.
Expected Results:
the connector route should show the same whether actively dragging/moving or
just displaying.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I will attach a sample file for steps 1-4.
