[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected], | |[email protected] --- Comment #12 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #10) > We discussed the idea in the design meeting. > > The revised "Left of paragraph text area" conflicts somewhat with "Paragraph > area". And we are afraid of worsening the situation. The probably more > correct term "Left paragraph white-space" is hard to translate. attachment 180425 shows the current controls (including recent changes). What situation is worsened? Can agree that the controls have been confusing/difficult to understand... But...please consider the growing symmetry in the Horizontal (and Vertical) control, which is broken by keeping "border"... Entire page Page text area Left of page text area Right of page text area Paragraph area Paragraph text area Proposed Left paragraph border (Left of paragraph text area) Right paragraph border (Right of paragraph text area) (there is also Above/Below page text area in the Vertical). Basic point: in the context of Horizontal positioning with "to paragraph" and "to character" anchors, the labeling "signals" that one only needs to learn: Page Paragraph area Page text area Paragraph text area (and then the "left of" and "right of" should be easier to grasp in context -- as argued in comment 9) In short: (now) accurate (and internally consistent) labels should improve the situation. Hoping for a reconsideration -- and expanding the audience for discussion... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
