Could you transfer this issue to an appropriate module? Phenomenon: 1. Start one of the applications Draw, Impress, Writer and Calc. 2. View > Toolbars > Drawing, if necessary. 3. Draw a line. 4. Choose Arrow as a type of the end. 5. Increase the line width by clicking on the spin button in the Drawing Object Properties toolbar. Results - With Draw and Impress, the width of arrow also increases. - With Writer and Calc, the width of arrow does not increase. Comparison: 1. Start one of the applications Draw, Impress, Writer and Calc. 2. View > Toolbars > Drawing, if necessary. 3. Draw a line. 4. Choose Arrow for a type of the end. 5, Choose "line..." from the context menu. 6. Increase the line width in the Line properties pane of the Line tab by clicking on the spin button. 7. Confirm the line width of arrow in the Arrow styles pane also increases as that of Line properties is increased. Results - With all applications, the width of the end also increases. Additional behavior 1. Start one of the applications Draw, Impress, Writer and Calc. 2. View > Toolbars > Drawing, if necessary. 3. Draw a line. 4, Choose "line..." from the context menu. 5. Confirm the default value of width of arrow in the Arrow styles pane. Results - Draw: 0.30cm - Impress: 0.30cm - Calc: 0.20cm - Writer: 0.35cm The default values seems different among applications. Expectations: It would be better, if an action of changing the line width via the Drawing Object Properties toolbar led change of arrow width accordingly in both Writer and Calc as Draw and Impress do.

MRU->OD: when having a drawing line with arrow end, the arrow end's size will not change when changing the line's width via toolbar (spinbuttons). For Calc we should file a separate issue right?
OD->OS: Something for you, please take over. Thx. According to AW the line width and arrow width are separate properties, but it is a feature that the arrow width should also be adjusted, when the line width is changed via the toolbar. Thus, the controller in the Writer application receiving the "line width change" should also submit additionally a "arrow width change".
