Description sdc.blanco 2022-04-11 11:24:43 UTC
1. Right-click on Textbox or Shape, choose Position and Size > Position and Size tab.

2. In "to" field for Vertical Position, select "Page text area bottom" in dropdown menu.

3. Then select another value in the "to" field, and continue trying values other than "Page text area bottom"


Actual result:  Dialog box jumps when selecting "Page text area  bottom" or moving away from that choice to another value.   (no jumps when selecting other values).

Additional information:   "page text area bottom" was first added in 8af2c4e3a517e3b75f2ace9719c1ca03153baddf  (May 2020)

Appears that the this entry is longer than existing entries, so the UI adjusts the width of the dropdown box, which gives a jump.

Yes, the alignment of controls needs a bit adjustment.

Code pointer is sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/frmtypepage.ui

Perhaps we do a set_size_request() for the dropdowns m_xHoriRelationLB and m_xVertRelationLB in sw/source/ui/frmdlg/frmpage.cxx to cover for long names if expanding the frame wont help.

Andreas, one for you?
