Comments: Stuart

Tickets/Topics

  * Width property does not work in right-sidebar via "Position and Size" panel
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146609
    + change line "width" to thickness or stroke weight, and keep
      width/height (Stuart)
      + should be done in both sidebar and dialog
    + "Position and Size of Bounding Box/Area" (Heiko)
      + too long (Cor)
    => follow Stuart's proposal

  * Settings on the image frame style lost when caption is applied
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32485
    + "Graphic" is anchored To Paragraph, "Frame" As Character
    + anchoring is not part of the frame style
    + anchor it "to character" by default to comply with the latest
      effort in anchoring (Heiko)
    + in fact the graphic is anchored "to character" but the "Graphic" style
      is using To Paragraph
    + actual problem is that there is no space between image
      and caption (Eyal)
    + applying the distance below an image, is nice if there is a reasonable
      small distance set, say 0.5 cm. Then applying that spacing for a caption is
      wonderful :) (Cor)
    + But if you have a distance of say 2 cm set, you definitely do not want that
      applied to the distance of the caption ;) (Cor)
    + ideally we drop the direct formatting and trust in the frame styles
    => needsDevEval

  * Show "more options" symbol also in the tabs
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152357
    + add a "more" button to tabs on cost at balanced appearance?
    + MUFFIN is not a ribbon, customizability is limited (Stuart, Heiko)
    + we have plenty of UI alternatives (Cor)
    + Tabbed should be similar to Windows (Eyal)
    + requires changing the notebookbar so the options group in relation to
      the dialogs (Cor, Heiko)
    => keep open

  * Lines added to bullet list are not animated
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141834
    + user expectation is that adding elements take the "group animation" (Cor)
    + animating additional inserted paragraphs in the object is useful in typical
      scenarios, but - are we sure it is always the desired behavior? (Eyal)
    + but it's easier to remove an animation than adding it, if possible
      at all (Heiko)
    + might be a duplicate (Cor)
    + Note that if one adds a paragraph between other paragraphs, it "gains"
      an animation effect, but the last animated paragraph loses its animation,
      so that the behavior here is not even consistent (Cor)
    + Suggest that it be made either a blocker or blocked-by the more general
      bug about reworking the animations of paragraphs in an object,
      if one exists (Eyal)
    => needs some kind of fix, needsDevAdvice

  * Provide a visual clue when a table is a DDE link to Calc
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75375
    + should be visualized like a field and receive some feedback dialog (Heiko)
    => needsDevAdvice
