Description Allan Jacobs 2011-10-19 18:18:30 UTC

Table - Table Properties - Columns tab 

The Help description for "Adapt table width" option reads.  "Maintains the
current width of the table when you change the width of the column."  This is
100% wrong.

The Help description for "Adjust columns proportionally" reads "Resizes the
table width in relation to the column width that you enter."  This is more or
less true.  The operation of the system when "Adjust columns proportionally" is
set probably requires a page or two of description.

Please tell us how you think the text should read and why.

[Reproducible] with parallel installation of Master "LOdev " 3.7.0.0.alpha0+   - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: 3985521]" (tinderbox: W2008R2@16-minimal_build, pull time 2012-06-24). Help text tells the opposite of that what happens.

Help: Adapt table width
-----------------------
Current text:
Maintains the current width of the table when you change the width of a column. ...

Should be:
Reduces or increases table width with modified column width. ...

Comment 3 Stanislav Horacek 2013-09-09 20:10:18 UTC

I agree with the correction. Moreover, I think the text for "Adjust columns proportionally" should be also changed, because current text has the same meaning as suggested "Reduces or increases table width with modified column width." (It's true, since the second option is a suboption of the first one, but there is no specific information.)

Current text:
Resizes the table width in relation to the column width that you enter.

Suggestion:
If possible, change in column width will be equal for each column.

If we agree on something, I can prepare and send a patch.
