If you have inserted a picture from file into your presentation > or document, you in 96 % of the cases need to modify the size - smaller or > bigger. And 99% of those cases you expect that the picture should keep the > original shape - it meens to "Keep ratio"!!! > But now in Open Office when you resize the image, it never keeps the ratio > - even if the "Keep ratio" checkbox is checked. I suppose this feature has > been five years. If I do not work properly, still the feature should be > changed because nobody cannot understand. See the attachments > "keep_ratio.jpg","resize.jpg". > I don't have this kind of problem against AOO 3.4, maybe you can try again. > > 3) bug: / Impress: "Text" area. Many times when I try to insert a new line > on my list pressing "Enter", the application do not add a new line, instead > tries to continue writing the same line and the letters appear at the same > character at the end of the line. I can fix it by selection another text > area and after that coming back. The problems appears many times a day, not > for every text area. See the attachment "open_office_text_area.jpg". > Also I haven't this kind of problem against AOO 3.4, you can try and if > you still have it, report it in BugZilla. > > 4) development proposal: Every open office program should have on the Help > menu two selections: "Send a bug report", "Send a development proposal" > which should order a link where you could send your comments with automatic > information of the version you used. > > Well, seems one good suggestion.
