Priority: medium
Bug ID: 84463
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: EDITING: Wish: make clear which objects are moved in
alignment operations
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.0.4 release
Component: Drawing
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
This involves both draw and impress. Suppose that you have two graphical
objects A and B, that you select both and that you ask Libreoffice to align
them. Which object is moved to align it with the other?
In many cases you would like to be able to assure that one of the objects stays
fixed as a reference for the alignment. For instance, B may have been carefully
placed on grid, while A is not on grid. In this case, aligning, you would like
A to move, not B.
Current behavior:
The current behavior, to the best of my knowledge, is that the object that is
moved depends on the internal representation that LibO has of the drawing,
which is often inscrutable by the user. The user ends up trying, and should the
result not be the correct one correct it later.
In some cases, this may result cumbersome.
Desired behavior:
The user has some way to influence which object is used as the reference fixed
one for the alignment. For instance, given that the objects need to be selected
for the alignment, it would be great to use the object that has been selected
first as the reference.
Operating System: All
Version: 4.1.0.4 release
