Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 99056
missing propertys "Position and Size" in form controls
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:43:20 UTC
The property browser has no position and/or size field for controls. Please make it possible to use values in the form property's like the new Report Builder has too. Now it is not easy to change the size of an field without using the mouse. To change the size, you have to open "Position and Size" dialog, where you only change one field at once. After that you have to close the dialog, select the next control and open the "Position and Size" dialog another time. This is no fun to change a lot of field's to get the same size. I prefer the first solution.
confirming, grabbing, targeting, changing issue type to ENHANCEMENT
fixed in CWS dba32b. Not only Position and Size have been added, but also the Anchor, since in Writer, the position is relative to the anchor, so having the position alone does not make sense. (Convincing the existing UNO shape implementations to *notify* the change in their position/size/anchor, when touched from outside the property browser, so the latter gets updated then, was the really difficult and time-consuming part of this implementation ... :-\ )
fs->msc: please verify in CWS dba32b
targeting to 3.2, since the fix is part of a CWS aiming for this release
verified in CWS dba32b find more information about this CWS, like when it is available in the master builds, in EIS, the Environment Information System: http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Path=DEV300%2Fdba32b
