Description john 2021-07-04 12:01:34 UTC
Description:
If I use the menu option Format → Title → All Titles to increase the font size the x-axis and y-axis titles on my plot, the font size is increased as desired, but unfortunately, the orientation of the y-axis text gets reset to horizontal. This renders this menu option much less useful that it otherwise could be. I wonder if the option can be made a bit smarter, to recognise only the *changed* attributes, rather than applying everything the same to everything.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a plot of something, with no axis titles
2. add x- and y-axis titles with standard font setting etc.
3. use Format → Title → All Titles to increase the font size

Actual Results:
y-axis title flips to being horizontal. to fix it, one must manually edit the formatting of just the y-axis to correct the orientation (enter '90' degrees)

Expected Results:
y-axis title should keep its existing orientation -- it wasn't something I changed.


Reproducible: Always

(but I'm not sure whether this "All Titles" functionality is about to make all titles look the same in one step and therefore intended behavior)

The title is not visible in the oldest of Linux 42max repo, but is seen in the latest and the problem is already in this.

The dialog resets the Text Orientation in the Alignment tab to 0.

I followed the instructions. The attached screenshot shows what it looks like after simply changing the font size.

It would appear that the 'all titles' dialog needs to be clever and record which field were changed, and only apply those changes to the text. I suspect it's not clever and just applies ALL of the settings from the format dialog to ALL titles, and hence messes up the text orientation.
