------- Additional comments from j...@openoffice.org Tue Dec 8 05:30:11 +0000 2009 ------- In OOo Draw, Bézier curves can have points of three different types: Corner, Smooth and Symmetric. Using the "Edit Points" toolbar, it is possible to change selected points to any of the three types. A point's type should be stable: once set, the point's type should remain the same until the user changes it to a different type. This does not seem to be the case with recent versions of OOo. A point's type is /usually/ stable, but after some editing operations, it often spontaneously changes to a corner point. Sometimes several points on a curve will change to corner points. Unfortunately, I haven't found a recipe that will always show the problem, but if I... 1) create a horizontal line, 2) Edit Points, 3) add a point near the center, 4) select the new point and click the "Smooth Transition" button, 5) fiddle with the curve for a while (move points, handles, move the shape, select/de-select the shape), eventually, the center point will spontaneously change from smooth to corner mode. This can be a real problem for a curve with many points because switching from a corner point back to a smooth point may change the position of the control points, leading to a lot of repeated editing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
