Description bug.reporter.21 2016-11-07 15:57:26 UTC
This might be limited to the french locale that uses commas instead of dots.

1) New void draw document
2) create a rather long slanted line
3) try to make it 0,0 cm width
So far so good : this is a vertical line
Now any change you make to the width text field won't be reflected to the object:
this is unexpected!

The workaround is to use the mouse to change the shape of the line, and edit the field properly.

Of course it also happens in the other direction.

A wrong behavior that might be related:
1) New void draw document
2) create a rather long slanted line
3) select the whole contents of the vertical text field
4) enter "0,5"
You won't even get a chance to enter the separator.
What you only get is 0,00 cm and you fall back into the above problem.

one vertical line, one slanted

Expected behavior:
1) select the green line
2) open the position and size pane (from the contextual menu)
3) edit the fields
4) press the OK button
Changes are reflected to the green line

Unexpected behavior
1) select the red line
2) open the position and size pane (from the contextual menu)
3) edit the width fields
4) press the OK button
Changes in the width field are not reflected to the red line whereas changes in the other fields are taken into account.

Possible solutions :
1 - deactivate the width or height field when this kind of problem is about to occur
2 - or take the base point into account to decide on which side to extend the object.
