Description Marc Pare 2011-01-10 11:05:26 UTC
I was just using draw and had to do a numbered and bulletted list and noticed that these are not properly justified. I mean to say that, if the text line is longer in bullet form, the text scrolls to underneath the bullet. Is this normal behaviour? It does not do this in Writer.

Cheers

LibO3.3RC2 + Mandriva 2010.2 

This was discussed on the "user" mailist here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user/893

To reproduce: open a new page in Draw, create a text box and choose "Bullet" or "Numbered". It will do as explained up above.

Below is a fix for it. But I think that it should be the same behaviour as the Writer default. Hmmm ... maybe check the other modules too?

Thanks Harold.

I wonder if it could be made as default. I can't imagine many people not wanting it to behave this way right from the start. I can only say that it would frustrate most of the people I know who would have to do all of these extra steps to get to by today's expected behaviour.

IMO, all six modules should behave the same way as to not confuse users unecessarily. (Writer, Calc, Empress, Draw, Math, Base).

Cheers

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

This is a Draw issue, therefore changed 'Component' accordingly.
Comment 5 Florian Reisinger 2012-08-14 14:03:10 UTC

There is no special fix for this issue, therefore we prefer RESOLVED/WORKSFORME instead of RESOLVED/FIXED.
