Description Timur 2023-06-29 14:20:02 UTC
In LO Impress GTK3 with Classic UI I see "Insert - Vertical Text" button only in 24.2 Tabbed not Toolbar, and not at all in 7.5.
If this is new, the same command should be in Classic as in Tabbed.

It is not new.

This is referring to .uno:VerticalText, which is typically grouped with .uno:DrawText (in calc/writer) and .uno:Text (in draw/impress).


In some places it is added as hidden:
sw/uiconfig/swriter/toolbar/standardbar.xml: <toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:VerticalText" toolbar:visible="false"/>

However, it should be visible in the main Writer Draw toolbar:
sw/uiconfig/swriter/toolbar/drawbar.xml: <toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:VerticalText"/>

It was deliberately set to hidden in 5.1.0 with

    tdf#81475 Additional improvements to Writer's toolbars


But this bug report is focused on Impress (which matches Draw generally).
sd/uiconfig/sdraw/toolbar/standardbar.xml:  <toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:VerticalText" toolbar:visible="false"/>
sd/uiconfig/simpress/toolbar/standardbar.xml: <toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:VerticalText" toolbar:visible="false"/>

and isn't included at all in sd/uiconfig/simpress/menubar/menubar.xml

The user can find VerticalText via View -> Toolbars -> "Text".

I'm not sure I would include it in the menu. It doesn't seem valuable enough to take up space - so I agree with the "hidden" status.

Ok, let's close
