--- Comment #27 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #24) > I see no use case mentioned here, that cannot be done with a text box. 1. You can't nest text boxes in tables, for example, and in some other entities. 2. Textboxes don't observe the styling and positioning of regular text; at most we get anchoring, and even that is often brittle and sensitive. 3. The same argument could be made for 90-degree and 270-rotation. 4. When saving the document, a text box will not be converted back into a 180-degree rotated text. So, implementing this improves document round-trip stability through the editor. > I see no use case that is important enough that a company would pay a > developer for such an enhancement. I can speculate regarding two such cases: 1. Other office suite vendors, e.g. Microsoft, have, or will have, support for this angle of rotation - and our import filter will have to either ignore the angle or rearrange the document to put such text in a textbox. 2. We want to claim we fully support the ODF 1.0 standard. Until this is resolved, we do not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
