Description hedley.finger 2021-11-29 05:47:02 UTC
Description:
Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS 
LibreOffice 7.2.3.1


The procedure for resizing the width of a table is maddeningly difficult to find. Case: I created a full-width, margin-to-margin table in portrait page orientation. I changed the page to landscape and wanted to widen to again fit to margins.

Suggestion:
Select all columns in a table (or an entire row), position cursor over any column vertical boundary and move L or R. Table should resize all columns proportionately to the new width.
Extra icing:
After commencing to adjust columns, a dialogue pops up asking if you want to equalise column widths or proportionally change them; also allows you to select margin to margin by clicking a button, Left and/or Right indents; otherwise dismiss dialogue and continue to resize manually.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Current method not broken,just user unfriendly.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Not applicable

Expected Results:
Not applicable


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Re Suggestion: in Description: text, perhaps a key combination to activate proportional resizing.
