Description Gabriel Diosan 2015-03-01 06:33:57 UTC
When drawing a polygon in LibreOffice Draw the first side of the polygon requires a "click and drag" movement whilst every side of the polygon thereafter only uses a "click" to insert a new point/side.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open LibreOffice Draw.
2. Click on the up arrow on "Curve" in the bottom drawing toolbar and select "Polygon"
3. Click and drag on the page to create the first side of the polygon.
4. Click to create every side thereafter.

The first side requires the user to use a click and drag to create that side which is consistent with how a standard line is drawn, however every side thereafter only requires a click to insert a point and thereby create another side of the polygon.

This behaviour seems inconsistent. To draw the polygon the user should click to insert points and not have to click and drag to start.

I have put the oldest version affected as 4.2.7.2 but I suspect this is inherited from OpenOffice.

UX advice may be required.

Above behaviour is present in:

LibreOffice 4.2.7.2 from the Ubuntu 14.04 repo

LibreOffice 4.4.0.3 from the Ubuntu 15.04 repo

and

Dear Gabriel Diosan,

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
