Bug Description

To recreate this bug:

1) Open Open Office.org Draw
2) Make sure that snap lines are visible from the view menu.
3) Insert a snap line (Insert->Insert Snap Point/Line...)
4) There are two minor variations on the bug:

a) Right click the snap line, and choose "Edit Snap Line..." from the drop down menu. Type in a new value, and click "OK"... this will actually create a NEW snap line, and leave the old one where it was. This is not a drawing error (though OOo is full of those) - both the old and new snap lines are hot zones, and things still snap to both of them.
b) Right click the snap line, and choose "Delete Snap Line" from the drop down menu. The snap line will just remain where it is.

I've tried saving the file and reopening it... Inserting new pages, etc. etc. but the problem is persistent. Once you have a snap line in OOo Draw, it's currently there forever, and the only way to move it in manually. That's totally unnacceptable for the kind of precise DTP work I want to use it for (things need to be exactly where I want them on the page, exactly in line for printing and aesthetic purposes).

Hello and thanks for filing a bug report. And thanks for adding step for how to reproduce the bug. However, I couldn't reproduce the bug which you explained. Both of your methods worked the way they were supposed to. So I could delete snap lines both ways and also delete them.
Your bug report is missing the version of Ubuntu which you are using and version of openoffice.org which you are using. Could you please update your bugreport to contain that info.

[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
