Bug ID: 163856
Summary: Disentangle boundaries options
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal

Example document
Current situation (24.8):
* We have Text Boundaries (TB), Section Boundaries (SB), and Table Boundaries
plus Object Boundaries.
* TB can be full or crop, depending on non-printable characters (NPC) (solved
for bug 74386).
* If a section has columns, those will be shown per TB. SB controls only
single-column sections.
* Frames have a TB that follows the color of object boundary being controlled
by NPC plus TB.
* Images receive an object boundary but only if wrap set to something else but
None. Other objects such as charts do not have any object boundary indication.
Images and charts can be hidden and will be shown via bold, grey frame.
* Text box in Impress/Draw receive an indicator depending on object boundaries
but not in case of Writer
The use case of boundaries is a) to show the structure of borderless content
(ie. where are the cells of tables without a border), b) to "spotlight" the
document structure (ie. where are sections and frames), and c) to know the
usable space for text.
Expected:
* Boundaries are independent and any can be disabled individually
* One option to toggle all boundaries on/off plus settings to enable the
boundary types (similar to formatting aids/non-printable characters)
* Frames and text boxes follow section boundaries
* Toggle functions becomes separated from color (also to make colors themable)
