Created attachment 202345 [details] comparison of angle setting in LO 3.5.4 and LO 24.8 Draw a shape in Draw or Impress, select the shape and open the "Position and Size" dialog, e.g. via shortcut F4. Go to tab "Rotation". The rotation wheel bottom right of the dialog page has the label "Default settings:". The term "Default settings" had meant, that it allows usual rotation angles with one click. That was correct at times when this control was not a wheel but a rectangle, see attached comparison. Now it is a wheel that allow arbitrary angles. I think, the rotation wheel control is such a common control, that it does not need any label, and it is not accessed with the F6 accessibility shortcut. Micheal Weghorn should know whether you still need a label. The help has a similar error. It reads, "Click to specify the rotation angle in multiples of 45 degrees." In contrast to the rotation handles in rotation mode of the shape, this rotation wheel control has not even a mode to restrict the rotation to a multiple of 45 degrees. The help should read something like, "Drag the handle to set the desired angle." BTW, the position of the label is bad. The label has a colon and thus I expect, that the object for which it is a label, is placed right of it or below of it.

The help should read > something like, "Drag the handle to set the desired angle." I have found now, that a click on the wheel goes to the next multiple of 15°. So the help text could be, "Drag the handle to set an arbitrary angle. Click on the wheel to set the nearest multiple of 15°."

What makes me wonder about the string is the trailing colon. It looks like this string is meant for something like "Default: 100" depending on whatever. But the variable FT_POSPRESETS is not accessed anymore and removed in an unrelated patch by Olivier (https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/5506).

(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #2) > So the help text could be, "Drag the handle to set an arbitrary angle. > Click on the wheel to set the nearest multiple of 15°." But not as tooltip for a pointless label. I suggest to remove the label and use the tip for the widget. The only reason for a label could be the buddy relation to quickly jump to it. It works for the pivot point but not the rotation angle. And tab works anyway.
