That's my biggest issue. As mentioned before, this is already tracked in bug 50359. Let's keep things separate. > Adding to that, arranging > objects on the slide is sadly wastly more difficult than it would be in > PowerPoint.

Joining the Design/UX team to participate in wider-ranging discussions and decision-making would be a great help to give this kind of direction. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design On Bugzilla, we have to try to have focused tickets if we're hoping to have developers pick them up and solve them. The "option to show all objects' outlines" is clearly defined and has support, see comment 3, comment 5, comment 6. I've clarified the summary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
