<pre>Description:
Zooming behavior is inferior to Excel and user expectations.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Excel, select a cell in the upper right corner of the visible area
2. Hold down Control and roll the mouse forward (or zoom by other means)
result: Excel zooms such that the selection is still visible and centered
3. Repeat in Calc 5.3.2.2 or earlier
problem: almost immediately the desired selection is no longer visible,
necessitating scrolling.
Actual Results:
problem: almost immediately the desired selection is no longer visible,
necessitating scrolling.
Expected Results:
Calc should be smarter and less buggy than Microsoft Excel. At the very least
it should not be worse.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I realize that this is not technically a bug, but Calc should be spec'd such
that it can do anything Excel can do so I consider it a bug. What's the point
of reinventing the wheel if you're not going to at least equal the model?
I dearly wish you guys would watch a graphics person work at trying to make a
large, professional looking spreadsheet with lots of font changes, borders and
backgrounds. You'd then see how painful the formatting is in Calc. It's not as
bad as Excel - that's why I switched - but Calc is still painfully
user-unfriendly when it comes to manipulating the appearance of the
spreadsheet.
