Bug ID: 168762
Summary: CALC URL Link Button Properties could benefit from a
little rationalisation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.1.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When a URL link button is created, its properties can then be modified by
right-clicking the button when in Form Design Mode.
The initial display for the anchor property offers three choices To Cell, To
Cell (resize to cell) and To Page - with To Page being the default.
xxx Notice the absence of "Fit to Cell Size" in the first half of the attached
image.
After selecting "To Cell (resize with cell)" a subsequent right-click of the
button will present a panel as per the second half of the image.
xxx Notice the inclusion of "Fit to Cell Size".
Surely the inference when initially selecting "To Cell (resize with cell" is
that the button should fit the cell.
Why not just present Fit to Cell Size in the initial panel, where the inference
must also be that it is anchored to the cell to which it is fitted?
Alternatively, if the option "To Cell (resize with cell)" is initially taken,
then why not just fit it to the cell
I can't think of any logical reason why somebody would select "Fit to Cell
Size" if they didn't want it anchored and fitted to its cell. Moving it in edit
mode would simply move the link to this new cell location.
Three steps across two different processes simply to perform one task.
Why have I noticed, and why is it significant? I create at least one new URL
button daily, with some sheets now holding four years' worth of links.
Steps to Reproduce:
Whilst viewing the attached .png
Create a URL link anywhere in any sheet and point it to any image anywhere on
your computer
Enter form design mode - there are numerous form design or ribbon button routes
to this function.
Right-click the button
Observe the display
Select "Anchor"
Select To Cell (resize with cell)
Right-click the button
Observe the display
Select Fit to Cell Size
Actual Results:
three process steps instead of one
Expected Results:
One process step instead of three
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
