Description dg1727 2014-02-02 09:02:19 UTC
1.  Create a new document in Writer.  
2.  On the Drawing toolbar, click the Basic Shapes menu-button and select an Isosceles Triangle.  
3.  Draw the triangle in the document.  When doing so, make the width and height to be roughly square.  
3.  Start dragging the lower-right selection handle.  
4.  Hold down the Shift key to preserve the aspect ratio.  
5.  Move the mouse to a position that is far to the right of the upper-left corner of the shape, but not very far down.  Without the Shift key, this would alter the aspect ratio of the drawing object.  But the transparent preview of the resize will correctly keep the aspect ratio drawn in step 3.  
6.  Release the mouse button (then release the Shift key).  

Issue:  The resized shape gets its aspect ratio from where the mouse was when the mouse button was released, ignoring the Shift key.  

LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 on Ubuntu 13.04.

Reproduced (very slowly... not a problem of internal desynchronisation!) with LibO 4.2.0.4 on Win7.

I can't reproduce the issue with Version: 6.3.0.4

Hopefully one of the original reproducing people can test it again and if it works now in a recent version of LibreOffice please change the status of this bug to RESOLVED WORKSFORME.

Dear dg1727,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Warm Regards,
QA Team
