View / edit control points in Impress and Draw

#1

Hello,
In the release notes for LibreOffice 5.1 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.1 it is mentioned that the control points can be adjusted manually by inserting the X and Y values. Right clicking on the figure and choosing Position and size opens the dialog but it does not work for me as these spin boxes are greyed out. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? I am working under Windows 7 with LibreOffice 5.1.2.2
Many thanks
Best regards

Have you unintentionally set protection of the position in that dialog?
Look for a tick/check mark in the "Protect -> Position" box. (Bottom
left hand corner of the dialog)

Hi Dave,

Thank you for thinking together with me, but I have not checked that checkbox
ie. I have not protected the position.

FYI I can move the control points in the object by moving them with the cursor,
which I cannot when protecting the position.

Many thanks
Best regards

Leo
