Missing a request in first place, guess it was a customer request implemented by Tamas. OTOH, I don't see this button as too difficult to use. And I cannot confirm the placement trouble due to the quite complex document. Adding the Unfloat command to the context menu is a good idea, if it's a UNO command. See also 113603 about table handling in general. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #1) > I don't see this button as too difficult to use. Please see your remarks in bug 112704 comment 16 :-) (In reply to Dieter from comment #2) > Please see your remarks in bug 112704 comment 16 :-) Still valid. The button itself is not obtrusive (yet working) but most users will search the context menu. Let's do this. The missing undo is a big issue too. Worth another ticket. Please take into account bug 112704 comment 8, bug 112704 comment 10, bug 112704 comment 14. In essence: The function is more that just "fix something broken". It is more like a generic function to put arbitrary content into frame / move frame content from frame to outside. It asks for a toggle (bidirectional) function; close in spirit to "Convert text to table/table to text". The "put to frame" functionality already exists when you select something and create a frame. So possibly this needs to be just shaped in general-purpose UNO function, with main menu entries (and of course, context menu). |
Created attachment 165734 [details] Document with floating table Open attachment with a floating table. Process for unfloating table: 1. Select Navigator - Frames - Frame1 2. right click - Go To menu item. 3. In the top right corner of the table a blue "Un-float Table" label appears. 4. Click it. Also if you might be aware, that docment contains a floating table, the way of unfoating it is not intuitive. You have to know, that you should select the frame and that you should use "Go To" - opion It would be much easier if you could select table directly within the document, so that "Unfloating Table" option appears. Or unfloating-option should be part of the table context menu in the navigator.
