            Bug ID: 94535
           Summary: UI REGRESSION: Cannot open Fontwork dialog to adapt
                    text to connect shape
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.4.5.2 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nalimi...@club.fr

It used to be easy in LO 4.3.4.1 to add text to a connector in Draw, and make
it adapt to the shape of the connector using Fontwork. But in LO 4.4.5.2, the
button to open the Fontwork dialog is no longer present in the "Drawing"
toolbar.

Moreover, there is no longer any reasonable  way of opening that dialog.
Indeed, the only workaround I could find to open it is by creating a text
frame, right-clicking on it and choosing "Fontwork". Then, if you select the
connector text, you can adapt it as previously (and remove the useless text
frame when you're done). But this is terribly hard to find, and appears as a
feature loss even for experienced users.

Adding a "Fontwork" item to the context menu when a connector text is selected
would mitigate the disruption caused by the removal of the Fontwork button from
the toolbar. I understand this operation might not be common enough to deserve
a permanent button there, but at least it should be accessible without
"cheating" by creating different objects.

It would probably also be a good idea to add a "Fontwork dialog" item to the
View menu, where it appears logical to look for such a dialog.
