Description thespider 2005-07-01 13:01:24 UTC

Hello, 
I have a small equation that requires a large caption. When i write the caption
it is split over many lines (~3 words per line) so i resize the frame to allow
the caption to be all on one line and the equation object resizes as well, i
cant find any way to keep the equation the same size and still have the caption
object at the base of the equation such that the formatting is consistent with
other equation objects.

Ideally i could unlink the equation and caption frame sizes and freely resize
the caption frame, keeping the equation above it

Thanks

MRU->OS: when assigning a caption to a formula object, the object will get
"relative" width (including "keep ratio"). The user will never be able to change
this afterwards. It is inconsistent, because in normal mode (without caption) it
is forbidden to resize a formula object.
Here, it must be differentiated between FOrmula objects and graphics (where it
makes sense to handle it like this). For formulas it does not make sense.

This issue is still alive and kicking on the current release of OO. (320m18)

This is a major defect, it makes Liboffice extremely painstaking for writing reports...

Basic macro to uncheck relative width

Till someone finds the time to correct it in the code, you can use the attached Basic macro to uncheck "Relative Width". After that the formula will behave same as in other context.
Select the Math object and then run the macro.

Patch to set size parcent for width to zero

In lcl_InsertLabel [1] function, aFrmSize.SetWidthPercent( 100 ); (on SwFmtFrmSize) is specified.

I propose to set it to 0. This affects to: 
- math formula: not resized with outer frame
- picture: Relative is off by default. But pictures with caption can be 
resized and relative check box can be changed by the user. In my opinion, 
relative check box should be not checked by default even for pictures. 
The content of the caption frame is the main content of the document and 
no one want to resize it depends on the caption layout.

Drawing object does not have relative resizing, so not affected.
