Bug ID: 160494
Summary: Increase comment (annotations) width in Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.6.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bilgehan_cagil...@yahoo.com
Description:
This is in reference to the post by sbxjld
(https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/increase-comment-annotations-width-in-writer/102950).
I was unable to find an enhancement request made by them and took it upon
myself to create it instead.
As sbxjld descibes, the comments panel in the Writer app can be too narrow for
certain situations. It is not rare for me to receive documents featuring long
comments or writing long comments. An option to be able to extend the width of
this panel/section would help in legibility for documents with a long or dense
comments section.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer
2. Write a sample text
3. Highlight the text
4. right click on the highlighted text
5. select "insert comment"
Actual Results:
A "comments" tab appears to the right of the page. It is not possible to resize
this tab by clicking the sides of the tab on the scale indicator at the top of
the application. Similarly, it is not possible to resize this tab through the
settings. The tab label on the scale indicator is not right-clickable, meaning
this is not a possible method of modification either
Expected Results:
One of the three following options, or an alternative equally accessible
method:
- be able to drag the "comments" tab on the scale bar, such that it can resize
- be able to right click the tab and select "modify width" from the possible
options (if any).
- go into settings and enter a new width value for this tab, which will take
effect after applying said changes. This option is less preferred but still
valid if a modification to the "core engine," as stated by ajlittoz, requires
more steps.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
