Bug exists in LibreOffice too - on LO Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) and LO 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2). Checked in the code; up to now snap is switched off by purpose when the start or end point of a connector is dragged. It is allowed for the in-between tuning points. I checked what happens when snap is switched on, and the UI is blinking like crazy, probably because the snapped target position is used for evaluation if a corner or glue point is potentially hit. Thus it is not so easily to be changed, but a good suggestion for enhancement. Changing to enhancement and grepping Reset the assignee to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org". |
Created attachment 82131 [details] ODG file with demonstration of the problem with Straight Connectors As far I can understand - Arrows from Lines and Arrows sub-panel of Drawing toolbar can: 1. be straight (horizontal or vertical = rotated by 45/90/135/180/225/270/315/360) if I press <Shift> key; 2. snap to grid. I use Draw for diagram creating. So I use elements from Drawing sub-panels Connectors, Glue Points and Basic Shapes. It was a surprise for me, that Straight Connectors do not snap to grid and do not react on <Shift> key. It is very difficult do connect Connector line to some object without these two options if one of line ends is not connected. The example is in attachment. It demonstrates, that: 1. «Straight Connector ends with Arrow» line does not snap to grid and does not react to <Shift> key, so it is difficult to keep it horizontal or vertical. 2. «Line Ends with Arrow» line snaps to grid and react to <Shift> key, but it does not connect to another object (does not have glue-point, it is not a connector). Please, if it possible, allow Connector line to act as other lines (add snap to grid and a reaction on <Shift> key). Without this changes it will be very difficult to use Draw as diagram editor for real life tasks. I see this behaviour on AOO 4.0.1 AOO401m5(Build:9714). May be other versions are affected too.
