--- Comment #15 from Hossein <[email protected]> --- There are interesting questions inside this issue, that I try to answer. First of all, is it good to do selection in the first place? And what to synchronize in the combo box that shows the width. I tried to experiment with the UI, both in LibreOffice Writer, and the similar dialog box in MS Word. In Word, you can change values by choosing a value from the combo box for width, and then clicking on some border. I could not select borders that are displayed, which makes the UI non-intuitive. LibreOffice, on the other hand, chooses a better approach, and makes it possible to select different borders, either individually by clicking on some border, or holding Ctrl and/or Shift and clicking on some border. To improve usability, I think it makes sense to synchronize the width values with selection(s). This is the question from the above Gerrit patch: > When multiple borders with different properties are selected, What should be > displayed in the UI? As multiple selection is allowed, the question is how to handle multiple different values. One approach can be to have a blank option, and display it where different values are used. Another approach would be to add a [Multiple values] or [Different values] option, to show that the values are different. In this case, width should not be changed when clicking or accepting the dialog box by pressing [OK]. This is similar to what Shrey described. Selecting a different value should change the width for all the selected borders. This should also be done for style and color, beyond width. The selection itself is a little different with normal selection of icons, etc. in LibreOffice and elsewhere using Ctrl and/or Shift. You may not deactivate the selection of a border by clicking on it again. An alternative approach would be to avoid selection completely (just like Word), in which I do not recommend. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
