Bug ID: 156360
Summary: EDITING - Please add an intuitive, easy-to-use draw
feature in LibreOffice Draw
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: [email protected]

I was just using Draw to edit a PDF and was getting extremely frustrated. The
PDF was an order invoice and I needed to cover certain areas of the invoice
that had sensitive information before I sent it to where it needed to go. The
problem is, despite being called Draw, the actual part where you can draw (like
actually drawing freeform) was very hard to find.
I first clicked on the square near the top of the side bar (Line Color) and
thought okay so I can use this to select the line color and then I should be
able to click and drag to draw, right? Nope. Despite the "Line Color" box
having a paintbrush icon if you click and drag to draw (like you should be able
to) nothing happens. The actual Draw option is hidden in the side bar within
the "Curves abnd Polygons" section and is the last listed option in that
section. For something being literally called Draw, it should not be that
difficult to find out how to draw using it.
Also, options for the freeform drawing are either impossible to find or
nonexistent. To my knowledge you cannot adjust the thickness of the freeform
line nor the opacity, it is just a skinny little line so you can't scribble
with it and cover large portions of a page like I wanted to be able to. I think
fixing this will give Draw a lot of needed functionality and user-friendliness,
because as it stands now it is the exact opposite of intuitive. If options such
as thickness and opacity adjustments do currently exist in Draw they really
need to be easier to access because if someone like me that is experienced
using productivity software cannot figure it out, I can only imagine how
frustrating it would be for someone who is less experienced or is at least new
to using LibreOffice.
Please consider these issues worth looking in to and fixing. Thank you.
