--- Comment #14 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Telesto from comment #11) In short and in general: Problems in comment 11 seem to stem from difficulties in knowing how to select an anchor (see bug 146445 for relevant explanations), which is related to/interacts with difficulty in knowing how to interpret the current anchor icon properly to determine the anchor location. Bug 138351 discusses the issue of improving the display of anchor location -- but even if that is improved, it is necessary to know how to insure that the anchor is included in the selection. Possible "responses": - make it easier for a user to know when an anchor is included in a text selection (but no proposals offered for design changes.) - give better documentation about how to insure selection of an anchor (but less effective for those users who expect the interface to be "intuitive", and therefore will not read documentation). About selecting the anchor: Here are three examples that will illustrate how to "succeed" in places where you have "failed". Perhaps these positive examples (along with the explanations in bug 146445) will help you to form an understanding of what is needed to insure that an anchor is selected. > 3. Move the text up. Yellow and orange shape not moving Do NOT repro with cursor placed in paragraph and Ctrl+Alt+Up arrow. All shapes move. Do repro with Ctrl+X on selection and Ctrl+V. > 8. Double click 'Blue' > 9. Drag & drop below heading 1.. image not following > 11. Place cursor after 'yellow' and select blue with the space before > 12. Drag up below heading 1. -> Only "blue' text moves image stays 8 and 11 show examples where you have failed to select the anchor. Additional tests to show how to drag blue shape up, by including the anchor in the selection. 13. Open attachment 180813, place cursor before "b" in blue, then select two characters to left (i.e., space and "w" at end of yellow). Drag selection to Heading 1, see "blue" shape follow. 14. Open attachment 180813, select blue shape, move anchor to middle of word "blue". Double-click "blue", drag to Heading 1, see "blue" shape follow. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
