--- Comment #19 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
"Snap position" is a bad title, especially because "Snap" is used in the left
group too. The German UI has different words, "Fangen" in the left group and
"Einrasten" in the right one. I support changing "Snap position" to something
better. "Constrains" sounds better to me. "Constrain Tranformation" would
imply, that the object exists already, but some options work when creating the
object.

All three options can only be understood, when reading the extended tip. I see
no good way to describe it in a single line. For example: "Extend edges". Long
version: If you create an object, which it not constrained to a square bounding
box in itself, you can force the size of the shape to a square bounding box,
when you hold down the shift key while releasing the mouse button. If this
option is checked, the larger edge of the drag-create bounding rectangle is
used as edge for the square bounding box. If this option is not checked, the
shorter one is used.

Do you know a one line description for that? The German version "Längere
Kantenlänge" is clearer than the English "Extend edges" but the relation to the
feature itself is missing too.



The forth options "Point reduction" does not belong to this group at all and
should have a larger distance to the other three. It sets the angle for the
tool .uno:BezierEliminatePoints, the right most icon in the point edit toolbar.
The label "Point reduction" is bad too, see bug 105988.
