Description kelvine 2003-09-08 06:11:04 UTC 
Hi,

I just tested the Direct Cursor feature and found it significantly different 
from OO1.0.3.1.  This may be by design or a bug, so I thought it best to 
report it.

In OO1.0.3.1 the Direct Cursor allowed the placement of the cursor at the tab 
stops.

In OO 1.1.0RC4 it now only appears possible to have the cursor placed left, 
centre or right.

The help files indicate in fact both actions are incorrect.  The help files 
imply it is possible to place the Direct Cursor where you want and the tab 
will be appropriately placed at that point.  In OO1.0.3.1 this appears to be 
to the current tab level. At no time could I get the Direct Cursor to be at a 
finer level than the tab positions and thus no actual tab was created.

Direct cursor now appears to do nothing more than left, centre, right justify 
the paragraph for a user.

A bug or a simplified feature?

Hope this feedback helps.

Kelvin
