Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 40999
Hard to set H and V Rulers to an exact unit size - provide tooltips
Last modified: 2014-04-11 11:03:47 UTC
The Horiziontal and Vertical Rulers have tick marks for half units, but: - the vertical Ruler shows no mark for a whole unit - the horizontal Ruler shows a mark but it is either obscured by the number or it is "merged" with it which makes the number harder to read and does not help to set the ruler precisely. It would be clearer if there were tooltips: - a tooltip 'Add Tab Stop' when the mouse pointer is over the middle part of H Ruler - a tooltip 'Page Margin' when the mouse pointer is over the sides of the H and V Rulers - a tooltip 'Adjust Page Margin' when the mouse pointer is over the page margin (where the centre white part of the ruler meets the coloured sides of the ruler) - a tooltip showing the distance (accurate to a 100th of a centimeter) from the nearest page edge when the user is dragging a margin edge on any Ruler
Note: Calc has similar dynamic tooltips when resizing columns
would be mor an enhancement as a defect set issue type to enhancement and reassigne to requirements
