--- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- It is clear that the issue can be worked around. For instance, if you have some objects to align, you can 1) Select the one that should not move, lock the position; 2) Select all the objects, do the alignment; 3) Select the one that should not move, unlock the position (this is needed, otherwise you cannot move the objects as a group preserving the alignment) or (often more more easily) you can note down the positions of the objects and manually align them by writing down the position they should take. The point is that all this is rather impractical and having a command that decides in a totally unpredictable way what it will do is highly frustrating to new users. The show of a new user trying to align stuff on a presentation, ending up moving the wrong objects, retrying, getting again the same result, retrying, eventually ending up visually aligning things by hand is something not to lose. If you are curious about the impact of this issue, find odp presentations on the net and just look at the amount of slides where there are objects that look approximately aligned, but in fact are not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
