Description marcstuessel 2003-04-29 11:42:20 UTC
opening the font-size combo box the list starts with the current size of the 
selected font. This isperfectly ok if i want to increase the font size but less 
practical for decreasing the font size.
Hence it would improve handling if the combo box still highlights the current 
size but displays eg. the three or four smaller font size preceding the actual 
font size.

IE

8
9
10
11
12
13
etc

where 11 is the current size rather than

11
12
13
14
etc

Hello, This is Nattu and I would like to add some comments on this issue:

# I have downloaded OOo 3 BETA and have tested this topic in Impress.

I tried a couple of experiments and my findings are:
1) In the font size combo box, the list shows totally 10 values. Lowest being 6
and highest being 96.

2) I set the font size to a very large value, like 88 or 72 or 60. Then when I
selected the combo box to alter font size, I found that the current size shows
up in the middle with a few values above and a few values below. 

3) I set the font size to a small, medium size value, like 18, 20 or 24. Then
when I selected the combo box to alter font size, I found that the current size
shows up in the top of the list and the remaining 9 values are the ones that are
bigger. 

Observation:
The default behavior appears to be to put the current size at the top and list
the remaining values below it. But if the quantum of values below is less than
nine (which is true if we choose a large value like 72 or 80), then the current
size appears somewhere in the middle and there are smaller font sizes listed above. 

Conclusion:
It appears that the issue still persists.

One more point - The same behaviour as reported in this bug exists in Powerpoint
as well.
