Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14583
field for rotating snap angle ist unnecessaryly inactive
Last modified: 2014-07-06 17:46:11 UTC
Objects can be rotated by any angle or when pressing the shift key only by multiples of a certain angle which is by default 15 degrees. This snap angle of 15 degrees can be changed in Tools --> Options --> Drawing --> Grid in the Angle field behind the "when rotating" switch. This angle field is inactive when the "when rotating" switch is off. To change this field, "When rotating" has to be turned on to change the value in the angle field and afterwards to be turned off again. The field for the angle behind the "when rotating" switch must always be active, because it always has an effect to the behaviour of Draw, Independent of wheter the "When rotating" switch is on or off. I observed the bug in OOo 1.1 Beta and OOo 1.0.1 on Linux.
Reproduceable in 1.1 beta and in a current internal one. Please have a look.
Christian, please give me a user expirience view on this issue
In my opinion Samuel is right, the spin control should be always active.
.
then it shall be done...
reassign
set to started
Has to wait until later.
"According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap (http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to OOo Later."
Accepted.
Issue has not been touched for more than nine years, but problem still exists in AOO4.1. Request is valid and likely an "easy hack". Therefore back to default unassigned.
