Hi there.
I’ve been using LO for a long time already and there’s something I’ve never really understood how to achieve. Other “Office” products show a little balloon (with pixel/point size) when I drag the right/left edge of a column. That way I can tell if my columns have the right size/width.
But when I do that with Calc I don’t get such information.
Is there any way I can tell the width of a column while I am resizing it?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
I don’t understand the question - the information is given in an info box (Width: 0.91 " in the example below), while resizing a column:
Test using LibreOffice:
Version: 6.3.4.2,Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.12; UI render: default; VCL: kde5;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US,Calc: threaded
(Works also on Windows 10, LibreOffice 6.3.4.2 and on openSUSE 15.1 LibreOffice 6.2.8.2)
Hi Opaque.
Thanks for your comment.
That is exactly what I am looking for, an info box with the width.
But that is not working on my rig.
My PC is running Manjaro Linux on KDE fully up to date and I have installed LO as a snap. Here is the version currently installed: libreoffice-6.3.4.2-snap1.
So I guess the snap version isn’t able to pop up info boxes?
Ok, I just ditched the damn snap package, installed the regular package using pacman and everything is working fine and as expected now.
I am officially removing every snap package from my system. It still isn’t ready for production.
Thanks for your help.
BTW, should I open a ticket?
Quite confident that the issue is all about the snap package. It says the publisher is ‘Canonical’ so I don’t know if I should open a ticket here in LO, or there at Canonical or neither because snaps still have a very long way to be worked upon before we think in using them for production.
Any thoughts on that?
EDIT: Mike (forgot his full nickname) was kind enough to point me out that this being a snap package related issue that I should take it to Canonical (official publisher of the package) and ask them to check it and file a bug if needed be.
