Description Natalie 2005-04-01 14:40:55 UTC 
Version:           KOffice 1.3.5 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

In KWord: Frames -> Frame/Frameset Properties...

If Text is Too Long for Frame:
second option is labeled:
  Resize last frame
  
  - The dialog asks what to do when *the current frame*
  becomes too full.
  I'd expect it to resize *the current frame*


Could this be changed to:
  Resize Frame
  or
  Resize Current Frame?

The reason for "last frame" is: in case of chained text frames, it's only the last one
in the chain which will be resized. There isn't always a "current" frame in that frameset
(e.g. what if you change the size of the font in the style manager?). The layouting
of the text has to be consistent where-ever the cursor is. So in case of chained text
frames, only the last one can grow. But in case of a single text frame, I can see
how the name can be a bit confusing.
Was this report about the naming being confusing, or about the feature not working
the way you would want? i.e. are you using chained text frames?
Comment 2 Natalie 2005-04-03 23:54:45 UTC 
The report was about the confusing name. And yes I used chained frames.
I used a single frame as well ...
I'm translating the doc and to get everything right I have to try every feature.
I'll add an explanation about the single frame.

Thank you :)

I see. Good approach :)

I'll close the report then, I think the naming is OK. 
Hmm, a Whatsthis might be a good idea though, indeed.
I'll add that.

For me it's the only appraoch that works ... I have to see it before I can describe it ... :)

Thanks again :)

CVS commit by faure: 

Added QWhatsThis to the text-frame options.
GUI: (in case you want to check consistency with the documentation) 
BUG: 103003
Also disabled "create new page" if choosing "no followup", inconsistent pair.
