Description o.rafelsberger 2019-12-02 23:01:44 UTC
Description:
I wonder why there is no "page" entry in the menu->format.
To me it would make sense. Maybe additionally to the current location.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to change the page formatting
2. Search under menu->format 
3. be confused

Actual Results:
The page-formatting is difficult to find

Expected Results:
I had to search in settings and so on.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Add a page-format entry to the menu-format list. This would be consistent.

Hi, you have a similar version like mine.

You can see in the screenshot that the Format PAGE is where it should be -> Format, than Page.

Please make a screenshot from your computer OR explain better what is the problem in your case.

Thanks you.

It concerns the drawing application Draw and the praesentation application Impress. 
Sorry for not specifying.

Missing Page entry in the main menu in Draw

Unfortunately I have the german version.
The 'Page ...' entry would be called 'Seite ...' and should be placed beyond the 'Absatz ...' entry.

Missing Page entry in the main menu in Impress

Here is a screenshot of the Impress menu with the missing 'Page...' entry. In the german version shown here this would be called 'Seite...' and it should consistently appear beyond the blue highlighted item.

Impress and Draw have a separate menu for all things, which belong to sides or pages, respectively.

That was introduced with bug 91857.

Thanks. That's wired but true. Didn't find it as I use these programs not very often and was used to the other behavior.
Maybe a conventional "page..." entry in the menu->format would be nice that opens a popup that tells: "Hey, we've got a whole new menu entry for all your page settings. See here! Wow! ..."
Or it could lead to the same popup window like menu->page->settings. That's what you would expect.
But as I know it now, I might be able to handle it. Nevertheless, I'd like to see consistent menu entries.

The change was intentionally done by the design team sometime in the past few years. Closing.
