Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 1575
Tabulator positions unchangable when selection contains different tabs
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Create two paragaphs and set tabulators on them (but different ones). Now select both paragraphs. Result: The Tab marks in the ruler disappear, Format |Paragraph does not contain a Tabulator tab. You cannot add new tabulator positions using the mouse. Expected: 1. [Ruler] The tabs which are present in *all* selected paragraphs show up as usual (black) 2. [Ruler] The tabs which are present in a subset of the paragraphs show up as grey 3. [Ruler] Clicking on a subset-tab (grey) [or moving them], turns it into a black tab which is available in all selected paragraphs 4. [Ruler] You can add new new tab stops using the mouse (which will become effective in all selected paragraphs) 5. [Dialog] The "Tab" tab should be present: a) tabs present in all paragraphs show up as usual b) tabs present only in a subset show up as grey in the list, upon selecting they show fill/type data (if there are two on top of each another, the type fields should turn into the third state: not a black point or empty, but greyed screened background). Clicking "New" should turn it into live in all paragraphs. Clicking Remove should remove it from all paragraphs. c) Adding new items (to all paragraphs) should be possible (see b)
Not a defect. This is an enhancment. Personal remark: Looks like a good idea. It would ease the handling of big documents with messed-up tab settings in different paragraphs. Reassigned to Falko.
I will get back to this issue asap
I think that this is a *great* proposal. Writer definitely needs the ability to set tabs on a multi-paragraph selection, and the 'gray-out' of tabs present in only a portion of the selection would be a nice usability enhancement.
