--- Comment #14 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #7) > A > > The "Synchronize" checkbox behaves faulty in the beginning: I also think that's buggy behavior. It frustrates my expectations! I mean at worst I thought it might clear both ends rather than use the same arrowhead for both ends, but - it kept the end _not_ synchronized! :-( (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #10) > > The "Synchronize" checkbox behaves faulty... > We cannot know if immediate sync means from left to right or vice versa. That's true - but it _has_ to be one of them. The logic should be either: "The side with the synchronize button trumps the side without", or "The start of the row of controls trumps the end of the row" (which would amount to the same thing). > The checkbox toggles > a mode and subsequent changes are aligned. But that is not what the checkbox says it does. When checked, the edges need to be synchronized - and they aren't; so I would say it's a bug, plain and simple. > This has the advantage that heads > can be different but size changes are aligned, for example. Surely you meant to say disadvantage... :-( The checkbox' label isn't "synchronize future changes". If it were, then the behavior would not be a bug. But - that would be a rather weird checkbox to have in a dialog. Not useful. For partial synchronization - you just de-synch and set things to whatever you like on each side. No big deal. But now, the dialog basically lies to you about what you're going to get. I stand by my suggestion from comment #5 on how the UI should look after synch is checked - and of there should definitely be immediate synchronization IMO. ========================================= (In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #7) > B > ... > C > We should consider [moving] the dialog pages "Line Style" and "Arrow Style" > to a separate dialog ...

It's just like when we open some properties dialog for a non-line shape, or the character formatting dialog - we don't have a tab for managing various drawing shape styles or character styles. We should be consistent. So - where will this go? Well, when you think about, there is one place we have already decided to place 6 style categories in impress: the Styles sidebar (Ok, only 5 are decided, and only 2 are actually implemented; see bug 152652 for details). Packing 8 style categories may begin to be challening, and we might need two rows, or scrolling among categories, but - I can really not think of another place. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
