Description Anastasius 2014-03-12 11:58:02 UTC
Help says
"Press the Alt key and drag with the mouse to draw or resize an object from the center of the object outward." 
https://help.libreoffice.org/Draw/Shortcut_Keys_for_Drawings

This indeed works when creating a new object, but it does not work when resizing. This feature is also needed when resizing!

Steps to reproduce:
1 Create new drawing.
2 Select rectangle (or ellipse) from Drawing Toolbar
3 Push down the ALT key, somewhere in the drawing area press the mouse button and keep the mouse button down while dragging the mouse, all while ALT is down. The rectangle (ellipse) is centered at the position where the mouse button was dragged first. This is OK.
4 Push the ALT key down and drag one of the handles of the rectangle (ellipse), keeping ALT down. The shape is resized the same way as without ALT: the center moves (the handle opposite of that grabbed with the mouse remains fixed).
First pressing the mouse button and then the ALT key does not help either.

The bug is still present in Version: 5.0.0.0.alpha1 Build ID: 77a35997fa7cff387b5b135ff0c42155f80e9884 Locale: de_DE

It is inherited from OOo. Only custom shapes are affected. With primitive shapes and path-shapes centered resizing by dragging with pressed Alt-key works well.

Comment 11 Anastasius 2019-11-27 19:11:03 UTC
In LO 6.2.8.2, alt-drag the bottom right handle to resize from center works for SOME object types (rectangles, images, Freeform/Bezier/Polygon curves (obviously, makes sense only with Edit Points/F8 = off).

It does NOT work for ovals, texts (text box size), straight lines, and other shapes (diamond, smileys, ...)
