Summary: When columns of a table are adjusted using the Table
Properties, it is impossible to judge the effect
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.1.1 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 76069

Shows how changing column-width is an impossible task
Problem: Writer provides a "Table properties" dialog, using which we can adjust
the column widths and also the entire width of the table.
In a multiple-column table, we can change the width of any/all columns.
However,, the main problem is that the entire process has to be done
"blind-folded": We cannot see the effect of the changes we are making. If we
change more than one parameters, we are lost.
The only way to proceed is to adjust the parameters one at a a time, click OK
to see what it did; and come back to the "Table properties" dialog. Keep
repeating till we achieve good results.
This is unnecessarily tedious.
Desired:
Provide a "live" preview" check box (or make it default behavior).
Whenever any column-width is changed, it should reflect in the actual document.
If the user presses OK, the changes should be implemented.
If he clicks on CANCEL or presses ESC, the changes should be abandoned.
See attachment for demo.
