Description DrSlony 2014-12-10 12:32:55 UTC
One should be able to resize the ruler with the mouse, dragging the ends. Instead one is forced to use one of three predefined sizes, often none of which fit one's needs.

Reproducible: Always

https://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdegraphics/kruler/menu-reference.html:
"Length → Length... 
Opens a dialog to enter the size in pixel.
Additionally, you can change the length and move the right side of the ruler using the mousewheel. When holding the Shift key the opposite side will change."
Comment 2 DrSlony 2014-12-13 12:05:47 UTC
But why complicate things?
And the mouse scrollwheel changes the length one pixel at a time - unusable.
I'm submitting these reports to improve this app. You are free to dismiss them and to point out unusable workarounds, but that won't improve anything.

Resolved with Aurélien's patches.
