Priority: medium
Bug ID: 63083
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: EDITING: Inconsistent subscript/superscript size from
toolbar and menu
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.5.2 release
Component: Drawing
Product: LibreOffice
When the 'Subscript' and 'Superscript' buttons are displayed in the 'Text
Formatting' toolbar, they create a different subscript and superscript size
than the RadioButtons in Format>Character>Position.
Steps to reproduce:
- In Draw or Impress, start editing some text (select the text tool or click
into a field like 'Click to add Title in Impress). In the Text Formatting
toolbar appearing now, if the 'Subscript and 'Superscript' buttons are not
displayed already, enable or add them (from category 'Format').
- In Draw or Impress, write new text such as 'E=mc2 H2O'. Select the first '2',
and, using the RadioButtons in Format>Character>Position, format it as
superscript. Do the same for the second '2', as a subscript.
- Write the same text again and format the subscripts and superscripts with the
buttons from the Text Formatting toolbar.
Result: Inconsistent subscript and superscript sizes:
Superscript created from Format>Character dialog has 70% size, created via the
toolbar it has 58% size (checked by selecting the subscript and opening the
Format>Character>Position dialog).
Subscript sizes are 66% (Format Character) and 58% (toolbar).
It looks awful when text like a2+b2=c2 (all '2' subscript) was formatted partly
form the dialog, partly with the toolbar.
What should be done: The same subscript and superscript sizes should be used
everywhere. LibreOffice Writer uses 58% consistently. I'd prefer 66% or an
item in the Preferences where I can set this value because 58% is too small.
[Microsoft Word has had a preferences checkbox for larger
subscripts/superscripts several years ago after switching to smaller
subscripts/superscripts. My current version of Word uses 66% size for sub- and
superscripts and does not have such an option in the preferences any more].
