LibreOffice .odg file giving examples of the behaviour described
Maybe this is a "feature" rather than a bug, but it doesn't seem right.
I create a rectangle in LibreOffice Draw, then create a text box of the same
size to sit on top of it. If I then type a series of non-wrapped lines into
the text box, and afterwards centre the entire text, the text will be centred
both within the text box and the rectangle. Good: that's as intended.
If, however, I type a long piece of text into the text box, which wraps within
its fixed width, and again centre the text afterwards, the text will be
off-centre to the left. It looks to me as though the longest fragment of text
is locked to the left-hand edge of the text box, and the rest of the text in
the box is centred according to that. Not good; but the text box can be moved
to make the text properly centred within the rectangle, so it's not a disaster.
One step further: if I take the text from the second case above, and *insert*
line breaks in order to make each line fit within the width of the text box,
then the text stays centred as before. Very idiosyncratic, and not very
intuitive.
I attach a LibreOffice .odg file which shows these three cases.
I am using 3.4.4 OOO340m1 (Build:402), running it on Linux Mint "Lisa" (kernel
3.0.0-12-generic.
