Bug ID: 163991
Summary: Text Attributes dialog for Textbox - fir option group
still confusing
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Consider the first section Text Attributes dialog for text boxes. It says:
Text
-----------
Drawing Object Text:
[ ] Fit width to text
[ ] Fit height to text
[ ] Fit to Frame
IIRC, this used to be phrased more poorly, but regardless - this is still
problematic:
1. This section does not control just the behavior of _text_ or the text _area_
- it also controls the height and width of the box. For this reason, it is
incorrect to call it, twice, "Text > Drawing Object Text:" ; at least the
secondary title should mention the box dimensions, e.g.
"Text vs Box Dimensions"
or
"Text dimensions within box"
etc.
2. What is the "frame"? We don't have "frames" in textboxes. The third item
can't be labeled that way.
3. What is being fitted to the frame? The label doesn't say. If this section
was really only about "Text", then - it would mean fit the text to the frame;
but considering (1.), that will no longer be the case. So this should probably
be named something like
"Stretch text to fit shape dimensions"
(as it doesn't even fit in the sense of enlarging. Or maybe
"Stretch text to fit height & width"
