           Summary: Shortcut Keys for Resizing Frames and Graphics don't
                    work
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.6.2.2 release
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

---Bug Description---

I am referring to the shortcuts described here:

http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Shortcut_Keys_for_Writer#Shortcut_Keys_for_Moving_and_Resizing_Frames.2C_Graphics_and_Objects

Neither the shortcut for resizing the object by moving its lower right corner
(ALT+CTRL+Arrow Keys),nor the one for resizing by moving the object's top left
corner (ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow Keys) work for me. In fact, the only hotkey for
resizing objects that appears to be working is CTRL+Tab, which activates the
Edit Points mode and allows switching between single points.

I have ruled out any interference with global hotkeys by disabling the ones
utilizing similar key assignments.

---Summary--- 

Current behaviour: Shortcuts for resizing images/frames/objects (ALT+CTRL+Arrow
Keys and ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow Keys) do not work.

Expected behaviour: Shortcuts for resizing images/frames/objects
(ALT+CTRL+Arrow Keys and ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow Keys) should work.

Steps to reproduce:

1.) Make sure no global hotkeys are defined for ALT+CTRL+Arrow Keys or
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow Keys
2.) Insert frame/object/image into document
3.) Try to resize it via either ALT+CTRL+Arrow Keys or ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow
Keys


---Additional comments---

On a sidenote: There should be a way of resizing images proportionally from the
keyboard (akin to holding down SHIFT while dragging one of the object's
corners). As I am not able to test the shortcuts above, I don't know whether
this capability is available already. If it isn't it would be a good idea to
implement such a functionality. Microsoft Word for instance does offer a hotkey
for this.
