Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 42259
incorrectly located modifying point on drawn line
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:31:18 UTC
see attached testcase. ungroup objects, select connector (to the right). try dragging it's middle modifying point upwards. see how cursor is shown below actual curve as it passes left endpoint. drag it somewhere at the same height as the left endpoint, release. notice that modifying point is not on the curve, but a lot higher.
Created attachment 22325 [details] testcase
Confirmed. Follow these steps: 1. Open the attached doc 2. Click on the two black triangular endpoints at point b. 3. Right click, choose Group > Ungroup. 4. Of those two endpoints again, click on the rightmost one. It should be selected with a blue circle now. 5. Move the middle blue modifying endpoint by dragging it up toward the top of the white page. 6. When you let go, you will notice the modifying point is no longer on the line. It is up higher where you may not be able to see it. If you drag the whole line, you'll be able to see how far off the line it is. Using OOo 1.9.77. From what I could tell Word didn't even have a middle modifying point for that line, so I don't know if this is really a bug or not. Maybe a little annoying on occasion.
word has a modifying point which works approximately the same (and stays on the line ;) )
MRU->WG: this also happens in Drawing component, so I gues it's one of the Draw dev's. Could you please reassign to correct Dev contact. Thanks!
Reproducible. Reassigned to Armin.
AW: It's a curved connector and indeed happens with all curved connectors, also with new ones. The control point just moves too far after ending the interaction.
Added note
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
