Description Callegar 2021-03-17 20:01:58 UTC
Description:
Currently it is possible to draw a callout where the callout line extends either from the right or the left of the callout box (incidentally, once the callout has decided the side it seems to be impossible to change it).

It would be nice to have the possibility to have the line extending from the top or the bottom for cases where the textbox is large and directly below or over the object to point at.

Incidentally, I believe that in the past this was configurable via a dialog, that is no more present.

Steps to Reproduce:
Draw a callout text right below the object to point at and try to have the callout line not to intersect the text box.

Actual Results:
You get an ugly effect, with the callout line passing over the callout text.

Expected Results:
The box should automatically realize that the callout should extend from the top of the box or there should be a manual way to tell it so.


Reproducible: Always

Please share a screenshot, "callout line" "passing over" "callout text" is not clear to me.
