--- Comment #24 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #23) > Eyal commented to better use Start/End. Let me expand my comment and go beyond what I said in the design meeting. First, I have to say that this feature is difficult to understand. Even looking at the help page, it's difficult to understand. Yes, a preview would help (I don't have a nightly with that right now), but it still feels like a complicated niche situation which takes a lot of explaining for a user to understand. It took me quite a while to manage to differentiate a "Right" from a "Left" case on the attached document. And this is regardless of the nomenclature. Now, I would claim that all items in the list box other than [None] are not line breaks. A line break is when you stop the current line and start on the next line. It's a very simple thing. The other options are involve breaking the line, vertical space, and one-time indentation or in-line horizontal space. It's true that they're within the same paragraph, but we should simply get rid of the dichotomy of "it's either a paragraph break or a line break". It's another kind of break in the flow of text. That would make the phrase "restart location" more sensible. After a line break, there is no "restarting". The line simply ends. There's the next line, but it's not being "restarted". Now, the choices must also better illustrate what is supposed to be clear, and clear of what objects. Are we talking about objects intersecting the current line? A potential next line like with a regular line break? Everywhere in the line? Only to the right or to the left or the horizontal position of the break? "Left"/"Right" doesn't tell me that (although there is arguably some merit in being intentionally vague - you won't be assuming you know exactly what it means without checking). "Next clear line on right/on left" also doesn't tell me that. And what is a "clear line on right" or "clear line on left"? I don't get it at all. And finally: The behavior right now is _not_ Left vs Right, it's Start vs End. See this by flipping your paragraph direction, e.g. in the attached document. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
