Hi again, so, here's a more constructive try to make the autofit feature better:
* First of all, I don't really understand how to enable the autofit feature on an abitrary new "TextEdit" [1]. The only way I know how to enable it is to choose a certain slide template. And only then this item appears in the context menu, so you can turn it off. * Secondly, there are actually two autofit features: the Text toolbar contains a feature that even skews text, so it will fit the frame (called Fit to Text Frame). Skewing text is really ugly and the feature serves to confuse one when one is looking for ways to turn on/off autofitting. Granted, it is not very visible. We might want to decide to kill that feature anyway. * Third, I don't think it is necessary for people to know exactly what font size their text is. What's important, is that they know when they get below the 18pt threshold for readable text on slides. I would propose implementing a non-modal bar for this purpose or some form of even less intrusive notification like a small red rectangle next to the text field with a tooltip or so. * Fourth, autofitting should be easily available from the toolbar to turn on/off. It should also be very visible that it is turned on. So, how about a button for it directly next to the font size control? Astron. [1] Really, we're showing that in the status bar ... that's definitely implementation terminology in the wrong place. "Text Field" might be more fitting. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
