Bug ID: 149396
Summary: "Character" -> "Character Bottom" in "to" option for
"to character" anchor and "Below" and "From bottom" as
Vertical position
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
To see the issue, use Position and Size dialog for shapes (or tab in Properties
for images, frames, OLE objects).
1. Anchor the object "to character"
2. Vertical: must be "From bottom" or "Below"
Actual Result: "to" option is "Character" (and "Line of text")
Proposed Result: "to" option is "Character bottom" (and "Line of text")
Reason/Justification.
1. As can be seen in the preview box, "Below" and "From bottom" are positioned
in relation to the reference line (bottom of the character).
2. In contrast, the other Vertical options (for "to character" anchor) also
offer a "Character" option for "to" -- but notice (in preview) that this
"Character" is for a region "Character".
3. The point is that, at present, "Character" has two different meanings in
this dialog, where in one case it is a region (or area) and the other it is a
line.
=> The name change would at least remove the likely confusion that "Character"
is referring to the same positioning reference, and probably make it easier to
explain (in help), because do not need to explain that "Character" has
different meanings according to which configuration of options are used.
See bug 148486, comment 9 for support of this proposal.
