Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 53872
ALignment should be based on first item clicked
Last modified: 2005-08-28 22:22:53 UTC
If I want to align items, then the most common (and intuitive) way to do this is to click on the anchor (the item that is in the correct place) first then shift-click the other items and choose how they should be aligned with the first one ... top, centre, bottom. However, Draw doesn't do this, it seems to divide the difference in axis between both items and move both of them equidistant amounts. In practical useae terms, that is not too helpful.
It is a very old feature request, see issue 1044. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 1044 ***
