Hello

I can't resize a rectangular by typing in length or height , maximum possible is 99.99 mm .

If i want larger than 99.99 i have to resize it manually

see attached pdf please

Thanks for any advice

Change the Unit of Measurement option, perhaps just temporarily, to centimeters or another unit. Options are set with OpenOffice → Preferences on a Mac, Tools → Options on other platforms. If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the title. You can select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

oh you are right, the highest possible amount in the Sidebar is 99,99, regeardless of the unit. I can confirm this bug in 4.1.2!
3 workarounds:
1. do the setting by right clicking the rectangle and choosing "Position and Size".
2. or change the units to cm in "Menubar"->"Tools"->"Options"->"OpenOffice Draw"->"General"
3. or use LibreOffice

hi

Issue remains even on cm ...see attached file

even by right clicking the rectangle and choosing "Position and Size".

yes, the bug is in the sidebar, but look at your rectangle

sorry but nothing helps ... or I don't understand well

I can't change the lengths or heights more than 99.99 even by clicking on the rectangular

by the way are you sure about "position an size " ?

ok I found out ... must unclick and return to check the dimensions

thanks
