Bug 283302 – app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1 doesn't allow manual set of column width while importing fix-width text

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sergey S. Starikoff 2009-08-31 07:46:09 UTC]

I don't know when and how it was broken.
In about 0.7.3 version of gnumeric everything worked fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start gnumeric;
2. Open a text file as 'text file import' or insert some strings from memory buffer;
3. Switch import dialog to fixed column-width mode.
Actual Results:  
See only 'auto-detect' and 'reset' buttons and no way to set column-width manually.

Expected Results:  
The clear way for manual set of the column-width.

I'm pretty sure this is something that upstream did and not a bug due to weird gentoo changes. Please report this issue upstream and paste the URL here, thanks.

It was the interface issue in 1.8.x.
Double clicking on mouse button in the header of imported text points the column separator (but it's far from being clear, thatis why I've reported tis bug).

In Gnumeric 1.9.x is included the wanted red ruler through the
text as a guide.

The bug in GNOME Bugzilla is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593771

gnumeric-1.10 which should contain this fix has been commited to the tree a couple of weeks ago.

closing.
