Description: A doubleclick in the "ruler" above the text should open the "Tabs" tab, not the "Indents & Spacing" tab. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Writer document or create a new one 2. double click on the "ruler" above the text, or click on it to create a tab stop, and then doubleclick at that tabstop "L" Actual Results: The "Paragraph" dialog opens, with the "Indents & Spacing" tab open. Expected Results: The "Tabs" tab should be the open one, as I am editing tabs here with this doubl click. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: At least we all know this behaviour from MS Word. Maybe there is a good reason why the "wrong" tab opens, and I don't understand it. But it irritates me since many years now... so I'd like to report it here. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
I agree to Christian.
And I expect indents and spacing, because ruler is the place where left/right/first line indent is setup.
No. While this is true for indents, as you named it (first line/indent is set up there too within the ruler), you can already doubleclick on the small handlebars where the e.g. hanging indents are moved per drag&drop - and there you go to the "indents and spaces" tab of the dialog. This works perfectly already. But if you click *into the ruler* (the free space there) itself, you create a tabulator, and a double click on that (or in the empty space of the ruler) should go to the "tabs" tab.
As one click inserts a tab stop and a second click opens the "Indents & Spacing" paragraph dialog tab, it would be more streamlined when it opens the "Tabs" dialog tab. A double click on the indent ruler point/arrow should open the "Indents & Spacing" paragraph dialog tab.
I agree with the suggestion of Thomas.
This was exactly what I supposed. Maybe I did explain it a bit complicated.
(In reply to Christian González from comment #6) > This was exactly what I supposed. Maybe I did explain it a bit complicated. You explained it in an understandable manner. We only support your idea with new arguments or declare our agreement with your idea. This issue will also be discussed in the next design/UX meeting on Wednesday, 8 pm/20:00 CET.
We discussed the proposal in the design meeting. It's a great idea and can be enhanced as clicking outside the margins (gray area) go to the "border" tab (or opens the page dialog instead), inside the margins (white area) shows the "tabs" tab, and clicking the thumbs could open the "indentation". Ideally, the implementation makes it not too difficult to change the target later.
Ah, so this is a regression actually? Worked as requested in Version: 4.1.0.4 Build ID: 89ea49ddacd9aa532507cbf852f2bb22b1ace28 Always starts in Indents and Spacing in Version: 4.2.0.4 Build ID: 05dceb5d363845f2cf968344d7adab8dcfb2ba71 Became clear with the Nickson Thanda's patch under review at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/51470 Obviously related to the dialogs conversion to .ui format.
Nickson Thanda committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=42af2f3b2ebd6c559e92e487b9e19ab1e9cd6e33 tdf#113925 doubleclick in ruler opens relevant dialog It will be available in 6.1.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Please backport to 6.0. This is not a feature but correction and I find it a good candidate for a backport.
Thanks for the work! The Tabs, Indents & Spacing and the Borders tabs open nicely.
