            Bug ID: 163494
           Summary: "Point edit mode" confusing - suggests
                    glue-point-related functionality
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 24.8.2.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

The icon for "Point Edit Mode" looks very much like how one would select a glue
point along a polygon's edges - more like than editing an actual polygon vertex
or curve control point.

The naming as well: "Point" is inspecific; and when one is thinking about a
"standard" shape rather than a configurable multi-point polygon or curve - one
tends not to think of vertices, but of glue points.

I therefore suggest:

1. A redesign of the icon, to show something that's clearly not a glue point,
and
2. Some kind of name tweaking for this command.

I'm not quite sure what I would use as the alternative in the name rather than
"Point". "Control Point"? "Vertex"? "Control/Path Point"? "Vertex & Control
Point"?
