Hi,

One of the really neat features I find of OpenOffice.org is the non modal 
nature of the windows.

Off topic but in creating a merge letter this approach makes it very easy to 
layout as you go.

I was designing a form and had to change the position and size properties of  
controls.

I found this dialog was modal and did not allow me select another control 
without first closing the dialog.

The control dialog on the other hand is non modal and allows me to jump from 
control to control which is more convenient.

It would be nice if the Position And Size dialog was non modal as well.

Thanks 

Kelvin

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
