Steps how to reproduce with "LibO 4.0.0.2 rc - GERMAN UI / German Locale [Build ID: 5991f37846fc3763493029c4958b57282c2597e)]" {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2013-01-24 07:20(?)} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with User Profile automatically created form renamed /3 User profile used by 3.6.5.2: 1. Open new Drawing from LibO Start Center 2. Draw any rectangle or other shape 3. Right Click new Shape 4. Context Menu 'Position and Size -> Rotation' > Rotation properties Dialog 4. In Angle pane try to input a negative value or a value with decimals Excepted: Possible Actual: Impossible Lack of negative values makes working more uncomfortable Lack of decimals for angels makes Draw unusable for many applications (for ma work it's a blocker), at least I need that very often for arrangement of vector sketches of ground plans and similar, to adjust bitmaps to lines in the drawing or similar.
Well, with "Modify - Rotate" inmost cases I also can reach the goal, but for several applications I indeed have been used to vernier adjustment in steps << 0,1° And I think that problem is inherited from other applications where that adjuster already has been used. For Example, Cell text rotation in Calc always only was possible with integer degree numbers
Confirmed. This may be an easy hack but I'm not positive. Changing platform, confirmed on Linux & Windows
It was introduced with commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0cd97e8c33c49a6c44d26ba309493dbfec00eb8d together with the change from the 45°-preselect angles to the circle degree chooser. It makes it impossible to measure an angle to the full accuracy which is possible in file format. You can see from the sidebar in AOO that a better solution is possible.
Surely, this is a regression over the previous behaviour ? Alex
Confirming also on OSX. This is a pretty bad situation for my business use of the dialog. Alex
Hi, I will look at this. Regards, Tomaž

Verified fixed in the current master build. Katarína thanks so much for taking this on! This kind of consistency is what makes Libreoffice a polished, professional product.
