Picture 1 : not working

Hi,

in Draw, if I add a text box by:

1. selecting the text box icon in the toolbar
2. I just click in the drawing (I mean without dragging and drop a box)
3. I write a text inside
4. I increase the text box dimension
5. I select the text and try to center the text in the box (it does not work! Nothing happens)

See picture 1


If, at step 2, I draw a  big text box, than everything works.

See picture 2.

Gualtiero

Eekt is [Reproducible] with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.3  - WIN7  Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:301  Tag 3.3.3.1)]", I will have to do some further investigations.

Seems to be a feature, not a bug.

The different behavior is caused by the checkbox "Full Width" in the Format Text dialog. That will be checked if you span a (big) text box before you start typing, and Text Alignment icons will work.

If you increase size of textbox after you have typed some text using Menu 'Format -> Position and size', "Full Width" will remain unchecked, you can not use Text Alignment icons. 

So that seems a little worrying, and Help and even Documentation did not help my to understand the different  "Full Width" checkbox handling, but I can't see a bug.

The question is why I can click those Text Alignment icons and they show "Left - centered - right", although nothing happens because of unchecked "Full Width". IMHO icons should be breyed out and inactive. This might be a bug.

Same behavior in OOo 3.1.1 and LibO Master

Set as a duplicate instead of invalid.
Use the newer bug 58492 as active one due to better bug description and assignee.
