Description cfgardiner 2005-07-20 15:31:35 UTC 
Hi,

when a block-diagram is dragged to the gallery for importing into a text
document, many font-size settings in the block-diagram are corrupted. It would
seem that the corruption occurs in the drawing application.

Tested with 1.9.118 and german language pack.

Regards,
Charles

Hi,

I've just taken another look at issue 52232 with the new release 2.0.0.1. It
seems to behave a bit differently now. Dragging a diagram to the gallery now
seems to preserve formatting of text-strings etc. (is this fixed by accident
since it is still marked as new and targeted for OO-later?)

BUT:
In the text-processor, if I DRAG the object from the gallery to the text area it
seems to be inserted ok. On the other hand, if I right-click on it in the
gallery and say 'include a copy' it has all text formatting screwed up again as
in the original posting. By analysing the contents of the odt file I have
noticed the following:
1) Dragging from the gallery includes the drawing with all source text as an
XML-Node of type <draw:g

2) Including a copy of the gallery object (right-click etc.) inserts an object
of type <draw:frame with a <draw:image sub-node and a link to an svm object in
the PICTURES/.... area

Why the different treatment? From a user perspective I find the 2. solution
better because:
1) The text-file is smaller
2) (more importantly) OO-wordprocessor allows a <draw:frame to be selected with
a right-click and offers options for adding a frame around the drawing object

Selecting a <draw:g object in a text-document doesn't allow a frame to be added
around a drawing so easily. (On the german version the option 'Bild...' is
missing on the pop-up resulting from a right-click)

Personally, I find this one of the most annoying bugs as I do a lot of technical
docs with seperate text drawing files. The diags for the final document are
maintained in the drawing file. With this bug I have to export each drawing
individually from the drawing-tool as an svm and reimport in the word-processor
to get the required result. Dragging through the gallery would be so much easier.
