Bug ID: 135373
Summary: It is impossible to move text blocks independently of
the Headings that they're underneath
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: couga...@gmail.com
Description:
One of the most important values in outliner view, whether in Microsoft Word,
WPS Office, or PCOutline in the 1980s, is the ability to move text blocks
around independently of the headers. LibreOffice 7.1.0 allows you to move
headers, and when you move headers, all children and grandchildren of the
header move with the headers. This is useful, but it does not provide the most
valuable functionality of outliner view.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer and create an empty new page.
2. Type some random text for headings 1, 2, and 3. Underneath each heading,
type two paragraphs of random text.
3. Test that you can move various headings around using the buttons on the
navigator.
4. Highlight or otherwise select one of the text blocks that is not a header.
5. Attempt to move this text block from one heading into another heading.
Actual Results:
LibreOffice automatically selects the heading under which the child text
paragraph resides and moves the heading, along with all of its children up or
down.
Expected Results:
Only the selected paragraph should move, and when it moves, it should become
part of a different hierarchy. In other words, I should be able to move text
paragraphs from under heading 3 to under heading 1 or 2, and I should also be
able to move paragraph 2 under heading 3 from position two to position one
under heading 3.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This behavior has never been part of LibreOffice, so it is not due to problems
with my profile or OpenGL. This behavior is vital and absolutely necessary to
me as a professional user of word processing programs since the 1980s. I have
always used software that has this particular functionality. I cannot use any
software that does not.
