Telesto <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|WONTFIX |--- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED --- Comment #5 from Telesto <[email protected]> --- (In reply to John from comment #4) > The problem is that it makes harder for a user to understand what is going > on. In the process of deciphering the problem. My vision: The case 1. Open Writer 2. Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General: 3. Measurement unit = Change it from "Inch" to "Centimeter" or if the default is Inch visa versa) 4. Tab stops = Change it from "1.25 cm" to "4.00 cm" 5. Press OK 6. Close the document 7. Open new document 8. Press Tab -> 4 cm jump and type something say AAA 8a. Save the document as ABC 9. Open a new document 10. Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General: Measurement unit = Change it from "Inch" to "Centimeter" or if the default is Inch visa versa) 11. Tab stops = Change it from "1.25 cm" to "0.50 cm" 12. Press OK 13. Press Tab.. Jumps in 0,50 cm (OK) 14. Close the document.. (No save 15. Reopen the document ABC 16. Press Tab.. jumps still 4 cm 17. setting Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General: Tab stop will be 4cm 19. Close the document 20. Open new document 21. Press Tab -> Tab stops are 0,50 cm 22. Open ABC again 23. Setting Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General. Change tab top to 2 cm 24. Press OK 25. The content in the document moves 2 cm to the right The situation at step 17 and 21 rather contradicting. Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General is an application setting.. But it shows the 'in document' setting, if the opened document has different tab stops embedded in the file (it's now not a 'application setting' but 'in document setting') That fact that the setting from "Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General" being embedded in to document when used makes sense. (Else you get 23-25 effect) on different systems. You can't force the LibreOffice configuration defaults on a document (would change the layout) However there is no way of managing tab stops, if you're working on a document with embedded tab stops generated by Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General setting. When moving the document system A with certain configuration, the system B using different defaults (regarding to Tab stops). The current behaviour surely confusing; counter intuitive and if you ask me wrong. There must be way to 'show' the in document tab stops.. Format -> Paragraph -> Tabs doesn't hold them Tab Stops created by "Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General"(seems correct). There is simply lack of an dedicated dialog. And no 'in document' tab stops should be managed by "Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General". That's the wrong location. What the proper location to access those tabs stops would be is a different question... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
