Description Emir Sarı 2020-10-30 14:01:25 UTC
Description:
"Wrap Text" is one of the most used functions of a spreadsheet software, usually after "Merge Cells". Long text do not wrap automatically after a cell merge, thus requiring a "Wrap Text", but on the NotebookBar it is not present. User now has to turn on SideBar, then click "Wrap Text".

And it's not like there is no space for it on the NotebookBar. "Merge and Center Cells" takes space worth of at least eight buttons, which is frankly nuts! Microsoft Excel uses only two small icons for both merge cells and wrap text. This is a total waste of space!

I remember it was present at some point, but I am not sure why it was removed. I was teaching Calc to my mother, who is not very tech-savvy, and she was confused with having to open the SideBar just for this function.

Please add "Wrap Text" to the NotebookBar, Grouped Bar, etc. etc.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Calc
2. Look at the NotebookBar

Actual Results:
There is no "Wrap Text" option on NotebookBar.

Expected Results:
I would expect to see a "Wrap Text" button.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
None.

Button control is already there. On the NB Tabbed UI in the 'Home' grouping. Left of the 'Merge and Center Cells' label (which should be a button as on the Formatting toolbar).

Button control is .uno:WrapText

Wait that is a button. Just has a big ugly label and is way oversize. Anyhow the wrap is bottom right of the second block over.
