Description: One of the critical features for working with SVG icons in Impress presentations and Draw drawings is the ability to break apart SVG files. This was available on the Right Click popup. In Version: 6.2.1.1 Build ID: 1:6.2.1~rc1-0ubuntu0.18.10.1~lo1 this capability is no longer shown. Was it deliberately removed or is this a bug? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Drag in an SVG icon 2. Right click the icon 3. Menu appears 4. "Break" is no longer shown on the menu Actual Results: Having to use an external application for this siginificantly increases the time it takes to build an icon-heavy page. Expected Results: A "Break" Menu item would be shown. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: This has significant impact on graphical workflow
Confirmed, Break has been removed from default Draw context menus. But, trivial to add the Break control back to Context menu -- Tools -> Customize -> Context menu, slect the correct "Target" (probably Shape) and search for the Break function. Add it to the context menu, position to preferred slot.
@Andreas -- I don't recall any discussion around removing the "Break" command for the "image" object context menu in Draw [1]. I remember the effort to normalize the context menus [2] across the modules (bug 119412 bug 119506) but did Break really need to go? Your call, but it is a pretty common work flow in Draw & Impress dealing with vector images--SVG, EMF, WMF--and we are now forcing folks to add it back to the context menu or pick it from the main menu's Shape menu. =-ref-= [1] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/60097/ [2] https://colibreoffice.wordpress.com/2018/08/29/context-menubar/
