<pre>Description:
For simplicity, I will describe my personal use-case, though proposed feature
may have more widely use.
In my documents there are some numerated formulas, e.g:
a + b = b + a (12)
Formulas is centered, and numbering is right aligned. To do this formatting I
create special paragraph style with two tab-stops defined: one "centered" at
8,75cm and another "right" at 17,50cm. This numbers are depend on page width
and other parameters, and this is where the problem.
It is impossible to use this one paragraph style with others page styles (page
format and orientation, page margins), in columns, inside tables, text-boxes
and frames: for each case we must define different tabs to achieve the goal.
I propose to add possibility to define tab positions in percentage of paragraph
area width. In described case they should be 50% and 100%. Paragraph styles
will become more universal, adoptive, smart.
We can already set paragraph style's font size in percentage of font size of
"father" (inherited from) style. Proposed feature will be natural progression
of such smart style technique.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new writer document;
2. Choose in main menu: Styles -> Edit Style...
3. Open Tabs tab
4. Type "50 %" in Position field
5. Press New button
Actual Results:
Tab position inserted at 50,00 cm
Expected Results:
Tab position inserted at 50%
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
