test of character position with padding and-or borders added to characters
Two interrelated questions here.
1. In relation to positioning objects anchored ”to character”:
What is the expected behavior for the size of the ”character” region in
relation to padding: Should padding always be included? Or only when there is
a border?
Attachment contains a simple test case suggesting that the latter is the
”actual” behavior --
-- but what is/should be the ”expected” behavior in character positioning?
2. In relation to ”online help” for character padding:
Does character padding always affect spacing around characters? Or only when
borders are included?
There is a suggestive statement in a guide page for character borders [1]:
”Select the distance between the border lines and the selected characters in
the Padding area. You can only change distances to edges that have a border
line defined.”
but the help for padding [2] is ambiguous about whether a border must be
explicitly added for padding to apply to ”character”.
”Padding
Specify the amount of space that you want to leave between the border and the
contents of the selection.”
Note that [2] applies both for ”paragraph” and ”character”. In my experiments,
”padding” (w/o borders) does add space to text in ”paragraphs”, but NOT for
”character”.
If that is the expected behavior, then the help page should probably include
this information.
(could not find other information about "padding" and "character" in online
help.)
