Inconsistent coordinate labels and values between Actions and Named Destinations

Post by rakunavi »

Hello all,

I would like to report an issue regarding the inconsistency of coordinate displays (labels and values) in the properties and dialogs.

To reproduce this, I created a fresh new document (Default Letter size) after completely resetting the application settings. I then added one new bookmark and one new named destination. Both point to the exact same location at the top-left corner of the first page.

When attempting to edit these destinations—via the Bookmark Properties and the Named Destinations pane respectively—a list dialog / pane and an edit dialog are displayed during the process. This results in a total of four UI elements showing the coordinates. The labels and values displayed in each are as follows:

  • Bookmark (Action)
    • (List dialog) X: 0 pt, Y: 792 pt
    • (Edit dialog) Left: 0 pt, Top: 792 pt
  • Named Destination
    • (Pane) Left: 0.0; Top: 0.0;
    • (Edit dialog) Left: 0 pt, Top: 792 pt
  • figure.png
  • sample.pdf
Since all of these point to the exact same location, they should ideally display identical information, but they currently differ in the following ways:

  1. Bookmark (Action): The numerical values are identical, but the labels differ between the list dialog and the edit dialog ("X" vs "Left" / "Y" vs "Top").
  2. Named Destination: The labels are identical, but the numerical values differ between the pane and the edit dialog (0.0 vs 792 pt).
There seems to be room for improvement to make these UI displays consistent.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you for your hard work on this great software.

Best regards,
rakunavi
