Description Jonathan Underwood 2015-06-18 15:18:56 UTC
In Impress, if I look under View->Toolbars->Customize, I see there is a Text Box Formatting toolbar. However, this doesn't appear under the View->Toolbars as a toolbar I can select to display.

tested under Win8.1 x64 with LibO 4.4.3.2 and 5.1.0.0 alpha

"Text Formatting" is not missing from the "View/Toolbars" selection list.

tell your O/S and try resetting the user profile to see if bug persists

Comment 3 Jonathan Underwood 2015-06-18 19:52:09 UTC
I am talking about "Text BOX Formatting" toolbar, not the Text Formatting toolbar, which is a different thing.

OS is Fedora 22. 

Confirmed starting with pristine user profile.
Comment 4 tommy27 2015-06-18 20:01:53 UTC
sorry you are right.
I confirm issue on 4.4.x and 5.1.x

I've retested with older versions and it was the same with LibO 3.3.3 and even in OOo 3.3.0 so the issue is inherited from OOo

I add Jay Philips and adolfo Jayme (UI experts) to CC list, to hear their opinion on this.
Comment 5 Jonathan Underwood 2015-06-18 20:16:44 UTC
OK thanks for confirming. 

The only reason I noticed this is that I wanted the sub-  and super-script buttons on the toolbars, and those buttons (in Impress) are in the Text Box Toolbar (as you can see from View->Toolbars->Customize). I realize I can add those buttons to other toolbars to achieve that particular goal, but having the Text Box Toolbar available would be really nice.

Hi Jonathan,

From what i can see, Text Box Formatting is likely a toolbar that isnt used and that is why its not available in View > Toolbars, and likely needs to be removed from the customize dialog.
Comment 7 Jonathan Underwood 2015-06-19 07:53:30 UTC
Ok, yes removing the toolbar would also make things more consistent, I agree.
Comment 8 tommy27 2015-06-23 06:11:53 UTC
could it be an easy hack?
Comment 9 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-06-23 23:16:16 UTC
Would be good to see from our new Impress experts if the toolbar is used anywhere in impress that warrants its visibility in the customize dialog.

You can now insert *two* 'Text Box" entries next to each other.

1. Open "Customize..."
2. Type in search field "Text box"
-> There are two enties named "Text box". (The icons differ, because one has a rectangle with a dotted line around it.)
3. Click on the arrow "Add item" for both.
4. Open file menu.
-> There are two enties named "Text Box", *both* have the rectangle with the dotted line. Only difference: On displays a "F2" shortcut.

I added screenshots.

"Text Box" listed twice in "Customize" menu
Comment 15 Mike 2018-07-26 17:16:10 UTC
And of course, "Text Box" is listed a third time in "Insert" menu by default.
Comment 16 Thomas Lendo 2018-09-08 22:18:31 UTC
Mike:
Regarding the 2 textbox items in Customize: the one with F2 shortcut is the "real" textbox command, the other is for form controls. If you criticize the naming please open a new bug. This bug is for the visibility of the text box formatting toolbar.

Dear Jonathan Underwood,

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
