--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- It is not clear when taken from the Help article, but the dialog (as all dialogs) bundles a mix of string "Labels" and "Tooltips" Other than their i18n demands on translators the tooltips are no issue to adjust as suggested. However any rework of the Labels ('Style', 'Adjust', 'Position and Indent', 'Shadow', 'Shadow Offset' 'Shadow Color') shown on the dialog present the UX UI-design challenge, as they must remain of *reasonable length*. "Character Orientation and Skew" would not fit and a label on the dialog can't take its own tooltip (just the Extended Tips of the help if user sets that enabled)[1]. Likewise for "Orientation and Alignment", "Vertical and Horizontal Offset", "Path, Contour and Shadow". Not only would such long text labels be a translation challenge, they would force a resize of the dialog--reshaping it from being a button toolbar into a dialog that would actually obscure the text and path of sd object being edited. Tooltip, Extended Tips for the labels--sure; Labels--not so much... =-ref-= [1] The "Text along Path..." dialog Labels now expose the 'Simple tool for putting text along a curve without any fancy effects.' extended tip when they are enabled from Tools -> Options -> General. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
