Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17981
do vertical title editing vertically, not horizontally
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:18:43 UTC
On most charts (except pie/ring/net) there is a Y-axis title, which is rendered vertically (rotated counterclockwise 90 degrees). If you try to edit that title, the editing is (temporarily) done horizontally, which makes for a mess with the (unreadable)new title being typed in over the Y-axis numbers and even over the graph itself. I would suggest that the entry field for editing be turned counterclockwise 90 degrees (to match the existing and changed titles). This would leave a clear field for editing. If it is too difficult to build a rotated text entry primitive in the UI, I suggest an alternative: pop up a window with the text entry field, and let the user do their typing and editing there.

Hi Bettina, one for you. tk
Typing horizontal is easier and should keep. But, as you mentioned, the problem is, that the text at editing gets unclear, because the background of the text is not opaque, as it should. That could be filed as defect.
Closed.
