            Bug ID: 97161
           Summary: Draw: Size of "dimension line"-ojects in small sizes
                    are buggy
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.0.2 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

The size changing of the 'dimension line' in 'Draw' by using the 'Position and
size' dialog works only correct, if the size of the object is so wide, that the
unit is capable to be 'insight' the limiting borders. If this object get so
small, that the unit is to be drawn 'outside' of the limiting borders, the
behaviour of the dialog 'Position and size' is faulty.

a) the inward workflow seems maybe correct: type a too small width for the
object in the 'Position and size' dialog results that the object can't be that
small size and it is drawn at a smallest(?) possible size and the dialog
corrects the width value to the currently width.

b) but the backward workflow is definitely faulty: type from a already small
object a greater width in the dialog it needs some iterations to type a greater
value to get the correct result.

My conclusion: the behaviour of the small state (unit is outside of the
limiting border) isn't correctly computed if the 'Position and size' dialog is
used.

Steps to reproduce:
1. start "Draw" component of LibreOffice
2. draw a horizontal "dimension line", for instance half the size of the sheet
3. open the "Position and size" dialog (short cut 'F4')
4. change the width value so that the size of the dimension line gets so small
that the unit is drawn outside of the limiting border.
5. From this time each iteration to change the width by using the 'Position and
size' dialog is faulty.
6. change the width by using 'Position and size' to a wide value, that it could
the unit drawn inside the limiting borders. That didn't occur on the first try.
So that is a bug. Only after several iterations to type a wide with in the
dialog it works correctly.

7. If you set the size to Zero, so you can't change the width with the
'Position and size' dialog anymore. Only the position changes that is
incorrect.

PS: In the property dialog of 'dimension line' exist a angle to directly
adjust. That is great. And now I miss an additional property to type directly
the length of the 'dimension line'. I mean the representation of the measured
length, not to be confused with the width/height of the draw-object itself.

Thank you and good luck to hunt the bug.
