Only writer: inconsistent rotational center behaviour with objects
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:26:07 UTC
create a new drawing. insert two objects, select one of them. enable rotation. click on another object. rotation center of previous object is used. now, i'm not sure wether this is a feture or a bug ;) - but it sure is not consistent, as it works this way in draw & calc but not in writer. in writer, if rotation mode is enabled and a click on another object is performed, rotation mode is disabled.
Reproducible. Bug or feature?
AW: Well, it's an old feature. The basic idea behind it is to allow the user to rotate object B around the rotation point of object A. In that case, the user would select A (and e.g. move the rotation point). When he also wants to rotate other objects (too keep the same relation to rotated A) the rotation point is saved over the selection of B. Workaround: If You have deselected everything, starting the next selection will again start a new rotation point with a new automatic positioning.
it sure is a fine feature then. in that case it should work in writer, too.
This is true, we have an inconsistency here. Changing component to writer. Aw, is this yours?
AW: No, as discussed, it's writer then. AW->OS: See text. ATM it's inconsistent between apps. We should take a look to make it consistent in our way to 3.0
