paragraph dialog 01

Alignment tab
- Last line settings are related to Justified, so I add them there
- align and resize the different elements

Text Flow
- Breaks section layout is grouped within one column but arranged right to Hyphenation to reduce vertical space.
- In addition the new layout focus more on Text Flow but show also Break as additional option

Outline & Numbering
- Like in Alignment tab align and resize the different elements
- should I arrange the drop down menus and checkboxes right to the text labels cause now the content is very left align.

Outline Tab update

It look better when boxes are right to the checkboxes and text, otherwise there is to much space for the content.
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2019-10-21 07:57:46 UTC
Alignment: The more text you place in one line the larger this dialog becomes in lengthy tongues. At least, from Last Line on underneath Justified with some indentation, of course.

Hyphenation: Why do you place automatic (page) break next to hyphenation? All previous modifications to the ui were done to have a consistent layout.

Outline: If the outline dropdown is linked in size to the numbers we may run into trouble. "Text Body" is short and fits to [   1.0cm] (or whatever) but "Mein eigener Textkörper-Stil" wouldn't improve the usability of the number field. My take: numeric controls should not size with textual.

Tabs: Don't see if you changed the space between radio buttons, if so it would be very small, but please don't. The intention to align radio buttons is good, and it also looks balanced.

And when the Style is spanned over two columns?

Expand single word can be bottom of the Start drop down box than the size didn't increase. good point.

Cause Breaks section need now more space so an additional column is needed. should Breaks section be arranged next to Options section?

Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to only make the Character fields larger.

That's what I meant with the generic rule to never put controls with numbers and text into the same sizegroup.

Following the guideline, all three sections have to align left.

I thought is is to high, but area tab (with gradient, ...) has the same high, so why not.

Resolve as fixed?
