Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 65766
Caption frames should be assigned in a different way
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:42:13 UTC
If you create a small document with a picture in it and add a caption to it, the picture is embbeded into a frame. If you click on the frame the "Styles and Formatting" window shows, that the frame is based on the style "Frame" (but it is definitely not). If I now double click on "Frame" in "Styles and Formatting" all the distances I entered in the frame "style" are applicated. So the frame format is not assigned properly to new frames. Styles and Formatting should really show the "Style and Formatting" of an object. This means if a assign the style and formatting of a graphic to a frame it is correctly displayed as a graphic in the "Style and Formatting" window. So, if I add a caption frame to a picture there are in my opinion three possibilities: - The frame gets the same style and formatting like the picture and is displayed as graphic - The frame gets the style and formatting of a frame and is displayed as a frame - The frame gets the style and formatting of an own style called "caption frame" and is displayed as a "caption frame"

Same problem as issue 17245. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 17245 ***
Closing dup.
Reopened, pasted comments into wrong issue, sorry!
Changed "issue type" from enhancement to defect. This is definetely a defect because the frame "style and formatting" is displayed but the "graphic" style and formatting is assigned.
Ok, this problem still exists in OOo 3.0. When a caption is added to a picture, the frame receives the formatting of the picture but this is not shown in the "styles and formatting" window. Additionally: The frame gets the actual format but not the "style and formatting". This means, that if you decide to change the "graphics" style and formatting, this is not applied to the caption-frames.
I just want to add a description so that the influence of this issue is clear: 1. When you create a big document you would normally use pictures with captions. 2. So: You create a document. For every picture you add a frame by adding a caption. 3. This frame seems to have the "style and formatting" frame (because this is shown in the window "style and formatting") but it has not. It has the same formatting as the picture inside it. Problem: It has the same formatting but not the same "style and formatting". 4. So: You created a big document with many pictures and you decide that there should be some more space above the caption frames. 5. You change the "style of formatting" of "frame". This does not change anything since none of the caption frames is based on this (it is just displayed wrong. 6. Since you know that the caption frames gets the same formatting as the picture you try to change the "style and formatting" of "graphics". This does not help either, since the caption frame has the same formatting which the picture had when you added the frame but not the "style and formatting". So: You have to assign a new style and formatting to each caption frame. This is very bad.
CCing myself and mba.
I think that this bug should get a target. The "Style and Formatting" of frames is displayed wrong.
