            Bug ID: 155730
           Summary: Wrong Anchor item in dropdown field of the Control
                    Properties dialog
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.6.0.0 alpha1+ Master
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Insert a form control and open the Control Properties dialog. Go to 'Anchor'
field on tab 'General'. This field has two items: "To page" and "To cell".
Problems:

(A) That was correct in times of OpenOffice.org but is no longer correct for
LibreOffice. LibreOffice has the three anchor types "To page", "To cell" and
"To cell (resize with cell)". This are available in the 'Anchor' item in the
context menu of a form control.

(B) The item "To cell" is actual a "To cell (resize with cell)" but users do
not know that. So they might try to force a size protect of the form control by
the option "Size protect" in the "Position and Size" dialog. But that leads to
inconsistent file markup. For details see the discussion in bug 154821 and my
repair instructions in the ReleaseNotes 7.6.

There are two ways to fix the problem: Remove the item from the Control
Properties dialog or extend the item in the Control Properties to three
entries. At least the text of the item should be changed to "To cell (resize
with cell)".
