Created attachment 203570 [details] Text along path dialog is grey when multiple connectors were selected When multiple connector objects are selected and the Format - Text along path dialog is opened, its controls are greyed out. 1. Open attachment 203568 [details] from bug 169097 2. Select both connectors 3. Go to Format - Text along Path -> the opened dialog is not usable on multiple objects at the same time Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2595f031fa93c1eb89fb4dce6f337de9be813e15 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: x11 Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I think, that it is correct, that the "text-along-path" window is only active, when a single object is selected. That behavior is not only for connectors but for curves as well. I have removed the reference to meta bug FontWork-WordArt. Reasoning see bug 169067.
Checked if it makes sense at all for connectors to be able to call that dialog, but yes, they can have text. In that sense they work the same as curves. Thus, Regina is right, it makes only sense if a single one is selected, as with curves, too. You cannot edit text on curve for more than one curve at a time, so I agree with Regina that this is not an error. NOTE: Pretty unknown, but when you have a single polygon object with multiple polygons (e.g. three horizontal lines with vertical distance) you can enter text to this object with multiple paragraphs. When using 'text on curve' on this, every paragraph will be on another line...
