Description: I used to be a Microsoft Office user but LibreOffice is much faster which led to my transition from Microsoft to LibreOffice. When I am using LibreOffice Impress, I cannot find the border of text boxes instantly. I have to guess where the border is at and go back and forth and finally land on where my cursor shows the arrows. I cannot efficiently arrange my text boxes by having to guess where the border is at. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create textbox 2. Input text 3. Click on open space to finish the editing process Actual Results: My textbox is set up but I have to spent more effort than I am willing to in order to find the border of the text box to resize or move the text box. Expected Results: I expect the border of the text box to show even though I have not selected it, so I can accurately click and hold onto the text box border/corners which allows me to resize or move it conveniently when I need to. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: The text box borders should only show during the editing process of the presentation, and not print unless I specified so in text box border settings.
Not clear there is an issue here. If focus is out of the Draw Text box object, a click on the Text box will either drop into text cursor mode (border grabs not enabled), or will drop into the Frame of the text box (border grabs present). Hunting around with mouse pointer is only needed when in the text cursor mode, and I agree it is annoying. But, isn't it a simple work flow to click back on canvas, releasing the Text cursor, and then back into the Text box--just a bit further from text? You'll have the exact active object to work with with out the visual clutter of showing the object Frame for all text boxes..
A usability test in Nantes revealed the same issue but from the opposite point of view. Task was to copy text, and the user struggled with the fact that clicking the frame and some space around does not activate the edit mode but selects the frame [1]. So while you want a larger clickable area to move around a text box, others ask for easier switching into the edit mode. And actually the hot zone is large enough to activate both, even with huge spacing you get the field highlighted on click. Do you agree?
