Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 115815
avoid left indent being larger than right indent via ruler
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:36:15 UTC
After tampering a lot with left and right indents (two small triangular icons) on the horizontal rule, my daughter found herself unable to type anything. It took me a while to detect she had inverted the left and right indents and put the first paragraph line indent on the left side.
Created attachment 75156 [details] two pages, second one with "invisible" text
I can confirm it with DEV300m93 on WinXP. It is possible to drag the right indent marker to the left side of the left indent marker in the ruler. You have no hint, why the paragraph formatting is wrong, because there is no hint, which marker it is. My personal proposals: Forbid such dragging and/or provide a tooltip, which marker it is.
Reassigned to requirements.
