Description Unknown 2003-01-09 10:51:12 UTC 
The text boundary should be switched off by default. To somebody trying to get 
used to Openoffice (coming from Word) it is very unsightly and makes the 
product feel less professional. This is because you see a distracting big gray 
box when reading a document, when all you want to concentrate on is the text.

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

Color for 'Text boundaries' should be changed to 10% gray in a first step. We need show the boundaries at least for header/footer, because the user must be aware where there cursor is in. Maybe we could easily change the bounding rectangles and just show the edges.
