Description mat.venturini 2020-06-19 02:57:01 UTC
Description:
Also happens in Draw.

You cannot change the width and height of the connectors when they are connected to gluepoints in two shapes. The sidebar allows you to enter numerical values for these settings, but when you deselect the shape they revert back to normal (and the connector does NOT change size while you are using the increment/decrement arrows in the input box). Changing the width and height of the connector should either change the position of one or both shapes in order to accomodate for the new settings the user set for the connector.

If this is not possible, then I reccomend that these input boxes get disabled (i.e. grayed out as an affordance for the user) when the connector is selected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert two shapes
2. Insert a connector that starts at a gluepoint in one shape and ends at a gluepoint in the other shape
3. Select the connector and go to the "position and size" (called "line" in Draw) section at the sidebar
4. Change the width or the height
5. De-select the connector

Actual Results:
The width and height get reverted back to their original values, preventing the user from changing it 

Expected Results:
Change the height and width of the connector by moving one or both of the shapes to which it is connected


Reproducible: Always

The same also happens with position and rotation and the buttons to flip horizontally/vertically do not work. Only the bring forward/back/to top/to bottom buttons work. Perhaps these all should be grayed out as well or straight-up removed from the sidebar.
Comment 2 Aron Budea 2020-10-26 21:24:56 UTC
The position and size refers to the bounding box of the connector object, and indeed, setting them when the object is connected on both ends makes no sense, because the connector lacks any freedom. The settings should be disabled then (both on the sidebar, and in the Position and Size dialog).
If a connector is only connected on one side, the settings should still be enabled.

The topic was brought up in bug 55608 comment 5. I agree it's not particularly important, so adjusting priority and severity accordingly.

Dear mat.venturini,

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
