Bug ID: 163300
Summary: Enable text formatting commands when (Drawing) objects
are selected
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Currently, one can only apply text formatting commands to the contents of an
object (specifically, a drawing object) if one enters 'Edit Mode' by
double-clicking or pressing F2.
This is problematic for multiple reasons:
1. Denies clear expression of user intent: A user wants to apply some change to
the whole object, so they select it, and try (or would like to try) pressing
the button or choosing the menu item for effecting the change they are
interested in, to the entire object/content of the object. The intent is clear,
the semantics would be clear - why should the user be required to take some
intermediate action?
2. Counter-intuitive w.r.t. applying text formatting changes to the entire
object: When entering Edit mode, none of the object text contents is selected.
One then needs to "Select All", then apply the text formatting command. How
does it make more sense to: Select the object, double-click it, select all
text, apply command - rather than just select the object, apply command?
3. and perhaps most importantly: Prevents applying a text formatting command to
numerous objects at once; one has to do so independently for each object.
