Bug ID: 149411
Summary: Often difficult to reach text area properties
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Suppose you have a box in Impress, and you want to modify the spacing between
its borders and its internal text area (a.k.a. its "padding").
You can do this via the content menu > Text Attributes > Text. This is already
not so great, as it's not really an "attribute of the text", but of the box.
That's the minor issue.
The major issue is that it's very difficult, or impossible, to get to these
settings from anywhere else:
* It's not on the main toolbar
* It's not on the text formatting toolbar (and even if it were, the infernal
app closes that on you as soon as you exist text editing mode)
* It's not in the Format menu
* Specifically, it's not in Format > Text, if you were somehow optimistic about
menu hierarchy consistency...
* It's not in any section of the properties sidebar - and you'll waste quite a
bit of time looking for it in "Area" and "Position and Size" maybe.
WTF?! That makes no sense at all.
