--- Comment #20 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Jim Raykowski from comment #19) > The fix for bug 154212 is likely what has caused the behavior change. wondered about that... > I wonder if the chapter moves should move a sub chapter out of its parent > chapter at all. As an occasional user of this feature.....here are some random remarks.... 1. There are probably good use cases for both variations (because it depends on the content of document, including its conceptual relations, which can change during the text production phase, which is why one wants to move sections) ==> will be hard to justify one version over another, if there is only going to be one form of behavior. 2. As a user, it is useful to know what to expect (no matter which functionality is chosen) -- which also implies clear documentation. 3. If only one functionality is chosen, then make it the simplest one (e.g., move heading and text to above/below the next heading, no matter what outline level). Reason: easy to predict what will happen. 4. If only one section is moved, then just click multiple times to get desired result. (not so hard) 5. (With outline folding, I believe it is possible to move larger chunks of text). 6. Most important is symmetry (i.e., up and down have the same effect. In this way, if you move something up (or down) (and do not like the result), then you can use down (or up) to undo. More ambitious comments.... 7. In the modern interface, what about drag and drop in the Navigator? That is, instead of move up/down, you can select one or more headings, and then drag them to where you want in the outline structure. That would be ideal (and would make move up and down irrelevant, i.e, could be removed). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
