I cannot change the line spacing properties of connectors. That is, when
right-clicking and selecting a connector, changing 'Begin horizontal' or any
other field does not have any effect on the connector.

As far as I remember this has never worked for me (at least not in the last 5
years).

A Quick test with "Ooo 3.1.1 WIN XP DE[OOO310m19 (Build 9420)]" seemed to show
everything working correctly!

@antares, 
please attach a sample file with a connector and several copies of it. In the
copies there should be each one change in the properties, and for each copy
please write down the expected change in the graphic and the actual one you see.
and of course, please attach a screenshot

Please remember that you really need a horizontal connector to change the
horizontal settings...The same is for vertical settings.

Line spacing settings have only an effect for standard, line and curved
connectors. You will not see an effect if you use a standard connector
positioned like in your document VertConn.odg (because it looks like a straight
one). The rectangle in your last doc is understandable if you see how the
connector changes if you change the  spacing amount.
The question is, if the line spacing settings could or should be greyed out when
a straight connector is used..

Comment 8 antares 2010-01-12 17:24:46 UTC

So what actually happens when increasing the space is that a polygon a-b-c-d is
drawn, from the 1st object at a to b to c and to the 2nd object at d.

But my understanding was always, and that is actually suggested from the help
text (Begin vertical): Enter the amount of vertical space you want at the
beginning of the connector. - that you want a space there and not a line, that
is, you don't see a-b and c-d.
