Functions of the symbol "line styles" in LO 3.3.3

Description clubchef 2011-10-22 10:40:31 UTC
There is no function / icon for Line-Width (e.g. 1 pt, 2 pt, 3 pt, etc.) when using the symbol "linestyle" from the symbol-bar.

This bug was not in Libreoffice 3.3.3.
It Occurs in Win 7 X64 and also under Linux / Ubuntu 11.10 (LibreOffice 3.4.3).

Please fix it fast! Thanks!

I do not understand the problem, I can't find anything missing with "LibreOffice 3.4.3  - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO340m1 (Build:302)]". But I do not know whether I understand the problem, there is nothing called "the symbol bar" in the UI, and what lines are we talking about? Cell borders?

@reporter:
May I ask you to read  hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> carefully?
Then please:
- Write a meaningful Summary
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot)
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a step by step instruction containing every key press and every 
  mouse click how to reproduce your problem (and if possible how to created a 
  sample document from the scratch)
- add information 
  -- what exactly is unexpected
  -- and why do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your PC 
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO localization (UI language)
  -- Concerning used LibO Theme (Menu 'Tools -> Options -> LibO -> View' - 
     Tango? Galaxy? ...)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
  -- whether you tried to add the missing button
  -- whether you are able to use the required function in an other way
    (Menu, ...)
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  –- If you can contribute an OOo Issue that might be useful
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read a.m. URL

May be you can test <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details> or <http://www.libreoffice.org/> - 'Get Help -> Bugs' for submitting bug reports?

Talking about that icon?
Comment 3 clubchef 2011-10-23 03:26:49 UTC
Yes exactly, we are talking about this icon!
(Thx Rainer)

You can`t change the cell border width
with that icon in LibreOffice 3.4.3.

In LibreOffice 3.3.3. there was the possibility using
the icon to chose the cell border width 1 pt, 2 pt, 3 pt, etc.
Now this is missing.

For me everything works as expected, in 3.3 we had a combined style  width selection, in 3.4 we only have a style selector icon, line width has to be modified via menu. No indications that that is not intended.

What do you mean with "No indications that that is not intended."

In my eyes the function line width is missing at the symbol "line style"
in LO 3.4.3. It is not a feature its a bug!

If you often have to chose the line width, it is very complicated always
to go via the menu. 

If you think that the width-functions are missing intended, then why they don't 
killed the whole symbol?! Also line styles can be changed via the menu.

As I told you, the hard coded limitation that style and width are linked up vanished with 3.4. So an additional icon for a border line width adjustment would be required, if you believe that "Format Cells" Button is not sufficient and that an additional button for line width is of general interest you can submit an enhancement request. You will need good arguments.
