Hello, Thank you for your answers, and yes they help since I can now better figure out what went on when this choice has been made.
Lately, I had to configure an OS X desktop for some friend. By default the scroll wheel works in opposite sense in OS X in regards to the other common OSes (at least Windows and Linux). By digging in its configuration screen I could find a check box allowing to disable what was called "natural scrolling". The same way LibreOffice seems to have made the the choice to offer "natural resizing" by default, ie. a functionality where the resizing follows exactly mouse movement. Pressing the shift key therefore enables an additional feature, actually some kind of helper, which will help the resizing to keep the image ratio even it does not follow exactly mouse movement anymore. However, here is the point that in computer science, what is "natural" and what is "expected" are often far from being the same things. There are tons of helpers that are triggered automatically which makes life easier and make the computer act smarter. The same way than in the above example there was somewhere a check-box allowing to choose between "natural scrolling" and what I may call "expected scrolling", it should be a nice feature to have an option (either somewhere in the configuration screen or, probably even better, in the form of an icon in the image toolbar) which will allow the end-user to choose the expected resizing behaviors. I've now just created the bug / enhancement request (seems that both links lead to the same page) 77393: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77393 <https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77393> Regards, Simon. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Any-reason-why-resizing-an-image-does-not-keep-aspect-ration-by-default-tp4105095p4105138.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
