Description Telesto 2025-10-25 02:51:39 UTC
Description:
UI: Synchronize ends in line dialog  should be some kind of lock feature

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Draw
2. Draw a line with arrows
3. Right Click  the line-> Pick Line from Context Menu
4. Arrow styles tab
5. Notice the Synchronize ends checkbox at the bottom

Actual Results:
Synchronize ends checkbox with quite some distance to where the 'Synchronization' occurs. 

Expected Results:
"Synchronize ends" equals Lock behaviour in Position and Size dialog, regarding size

Feels more natural to me. 
A) Synchronize ends position looks as if it would do some independent
B) Long label for something simple

Yes, there is some how do we fit this nicely in UI issue




Reproducible: Always

Indeed it would be appropriate to disable one of the two sides. This requires to apply one side immediately when the Synchronize option is checked. In the consequence you cannot sync the end style to the start. And we currently do not synchronize the Center option.

I would rather keep the current solution as it makes the interaction more flexible.
