Summary	0010116: Improve the text frame linking tool
Description	- clicking on the text overflow box should start the linking mode? (done) - overing the overflow box, should show how many non blank chars are overflowing (with the word "overflow" in the tooltip!) - a second overflow box should allow to delete all the overflowing characters - activating the link tool should also temporary activate the display of the link arrows - if the user does not click on a frame but does an action which can be recognized as a text frame creation (click and drag or shift click) a new frame should be created and linked? (done)

yagraph 2011-07-09 16:08 reporter ~0026574	Hi, Here is a quick mockup to explain ale's report further

JLuc 2011-08-27 11:06 developer ~0026796	These are great user-firendly ideas. By the way : it took me several sessions to figure out how the "link" and "unlink" buttons work. At first I tried and tried dozens of time and it never worked or didnt work how I expected. Its hard for me now to figure out how i could not get it to work, but i'm pretty sure its possible to reproduce with many new scribus user. So the linking and unlinking buttons functionnality could be made more affordant.
