black dot instead of black line when reordering slides

When I drag a slide in the sidebar to change their order a square dot appears. 
Would in it be better having a thick horizontal line below the slide under which you want to put the slide being displaced?

EDIT: Wouldn't it be better having a thick horizontal line below the slide under which you want to put the slide being displaced

Please explain why you think it would be better? 
I don't have problem with current UI, it's clear.
Comment 3 mirko.pieropan 2019-12-15 19:58:58 UTC
It's clear and works, but is not very pleasant to see in my opinion. Adding examples from similar software.

Look and feel in LibreOffice

That's how it looks for me, quite beautiful compared to the other. Your dot looks like a bug to me.

Confirming on macOS Vanilla.
Comment 11 eisa01 2020-02-16 00:02:47 UTC
So, this is actually a regression. LO 3.3 shows a black line where you are currently dragging the slide, plus a dotted outline. Not super fancy, but a lot better than the current dot that is smaller than a normal mouse pointer :)

Present all the way back to 3.4, so this can't be bisected

Dear mirko.pieropan,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
