Bug ID: 158590
Summary: Interface design bug "Scale" for Draw documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: juani...@gmail.com
Description:
The basic problem is that no distinction is made between "default scale" and
"document scale".
Draw saves scales (for dimensions) on a per document basis as when re-oppened
the scale initially used for that document is used independently of my
currently set default values (a good feature). The problem is not the
behaviour, but the interface which lets me change the "options" for scale. This
means that if I want to change the scale used for the current document, I must
change the scale on the "options" dialog, and re-save the document. The problem
with this approach is that I have also effectively changed the default scale
for new documents (not necessarily an intended behaviour on the user's part).
Steps to Reproduce:
1 Open an existing draw document with a set scale
2.Change the scale in option and save the document
3.Create a new draw document
Actual Results:
Creating a new document uses the new scale
Expected Results:
In this specific scenario the intended result was to change the scale of only
the opened document.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
More appropriately, the scale in the "options" dialog should be reworded as
"default scale", and only affect the scale for new documents. A new "document
scale" property should be accessible (maybe through the "format page"
interface) to change the scale of the current document separately form the
"default scale".
