Bug ID: 156193
Summary: Need to distinguish between intent of inserting a
shape once and multiple times
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
When one clicks a shape in the Shapes deck of the sidebar, and draws a bounding
rectangle for the shape - in some cases, the active tool goes back to something
other than drawing that shape; and in some cases, the shape remains the active
tool, and drawing a rectangle or just clicking somewhere inserts another
instance of the shape.
There are two issues here:
1. It is difficult for the user to predict when either of the cases will occur
with a press on a shape.
2. The visual indication in the sidebar - a (double) frame around the shape -
does not seem to distinguish between these two states.
I believe this should merits UI designer attention and thought.
Among other ideas, perhaps we should default to single-instantiation-always
upon the first click on the shape, and only enter "repeat insertion mode" on a
double click or second click? Similarly to how the Android's on-screen
keyboard's shift key behaves w.r.t. entering uppercase letters?
