Bug ID: 154958
Summary: Why does Format | Paragraph | Proportional default to
6% ?
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I wish to format text in Writer and define a line spacing of an arbitrary
percentage (e.g. 120%) the default setting is 6%. Why is that? 6% is a number
that is guaranteed not to work with just about any font. Why not 100%?
I could imagine that developers want to present the user with an arbitrary
one-digit number that will always be changed in any case, and so the number of
keystrokes required to change it is minimized. But that is quirky rather than
logical and straightforward. I am just curious why this option was chosen. Is
it just a minor feature that gets ignored?
Thanks for looking into this.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Format
2.Paragraph
3.Line Spacing: Proportional
Actual Results:
Default proportion is always 6%. This has always been the case to my knowledge,
and it is always present on a fresh install, i.e. not affected by OpenGL or
user profile.
Expected Results:
Default proportion should be a) the proportion already set as default, that is,
100%, or alternatively b) the previously manually set proportion, e.g. 115%
etc.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
