Bug ID: 156193 Summary: Need to distinguish between intent of inserting a shape once and multiple times Product: LibreOffice Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Impress Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com When one clicks a shape in the Shapes deck of the sidebar, and draws a bounding rectangle for the shape - in some cases, the active tool goes back to something other than drawing that shape; and in some cases, the shape remains the active tool, and drawing a rectangle or just clicking somewhere inserts another instance of the shape. There are two issues here: 1. It is difficult for the user to predict when either of the cases will occur with a press on a shape. 2. The visual indication in the sidebar - a (double) frame around the shape - does not seem to distinguish between these two states. I believe this should merits UI designer attention and thought. Among other ideas, perhaps we should default to single-instantiation-always upon the first click on the shape, and only enter "repeat insertion mode" on a double click or second click? Similarly to how the Android's on-screen keyboard's shift key behaves w.r.t. entering uppercase letters? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
