Bug ID: 164084
Summary: Improve UI discoverability of font-relative spacing
and margins
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

The amount of space above and below paragraphs, as well as the indentation on
both sides of a paragraph, can be specified either in absolute terms (e.g. pt,
cm) or in _font-size-relative_ terms, using the "ic" unit.
This is a very useful feature IMNSHO, as, when using it, one can "scale" the
paragraph's content using the font sizes, without having to readjust the margin
sizes all the time.
However - there is absolutely no chance that users will realize this
possibility even exists. It is only if they know apriori that the "ch" or "ic"
unit exists, that they may consider using it.
I say we should somehow make the choice between absolute and relative sizes for
these values - and perhaps most importantly the side margin sizes -
discoverable, possible for the user to notice and consider.
