--- Comment #28 from Caolán McNamara <caol...@redhat.com> --- I don't think the handles are really the core of the issue anyway, people want the blue rectangle thing. Taking the sub-case of the example in the comment #14 then at svx/source/svdraw/svdedxv.cxx:1246 in SdrObjEditView::SdrBeginTextEdit we have const bool bVisualizeSurroundingFrame(bTextFrame && !bFitToSize); and in page 2 the second textbox that doesn't have the blue border has bFitToSize set. If autofit is turned off then it gets the blue border. Then taking the original document from comment #7 bTextFrame is false and it doesn't get "bVisualizeSurroundingFrame" of true for that other reason. As far as I can see, in... commit fd069bee7e57ad529c3c0974559fd2d84ec3151a Date: Mon Sep 18 16:07:07 2000 +0000 initial import we also have this special if (bTextFrame && !bFitToSize) { ... } handling (FWIW I seem to have very old memories of having to play "hunt for the border") It's not entirely clear why we have that special handling. If we wanted to treat all these cases the same then https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/128025 would take the route-one approach and they would all act the same. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
