Bug #: 47570
Summary: Behavior of LibreOffice applications not coherent!
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.1 Release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: daniel.ma...@umb.no
Different applications of LibreOffice show different behavior and each
application has restrictions that make working with one single application
impossible! The situation is worst in Writer.
Some examples:
- Rotation of images not possible in Writer (but works in Draw)
- Editing grouped objects is clumsy and annoying (e.g. clicking anywhere
outside group will exit group => double clicking like in Draw is the better
solution)
- Impress only works with text boxes and shapes but it does not allow different
styles in one single text box or shape and outline numbering is not accessible
- Some objects can only be grouped in Draw but not in Writer
- Tables in Writer are clumsy and should be replaced with embedded Calc tables
(can be done manually but then Writer changes size of embedded table every now
and then and thereby renders them ugly)
...
Functionality of one application (like Writer) should behave the same as in all
the other applications (like Draw) and all applications should have all
functions available.
Users should be able to customize behavior per application if they want to.
I know that this "bug report" is somewhat vague and implies huge changes to
LibreOffice, but it would also be a huge improvement and eliminate similar bugs
that have been filed.
Seeing how the different applications in LibreOffice are diverting from each
other is scary.
