Summary0003466: Improvements to gradient handling in the properties palette
DescriptionAdding, moving and removing colour stops in the properties palette is a real pain. The behaviour of the cursor is hardly predictable, and moving a stop with the mouse may or may not be possible. Also, a sane way of removing stops quickly would be really fine.
TagsNo tags attached.

Drag the stops down and they will be removed from the gradient.

I know, but the behaviour of the cursor is, as written above, almost unpredictable. It happens easily that a new stop is added instead of getting hold of the one I want to drag away.

My suggestion: cursor in the field = add stop, shift/ctrl + cursor= remove stop. Perhaps something like the "Manage guides" dialog would also be useful for stops.

Theres not much need for a dialog, more correct would be to fix gradient editing on the canvas.

A dialog would not be necessary if the behaviour of the cursor would more precise and predictable. I read a posting on the German Scribus forum in which a user complained that he couldn't remove the stops at all.

I've never had a major problem though the gradient editor can be touchy.. we simply need gradient editing on canvas.. thats it. This should be a wont fix. Need a new bug "Implement gradient editing on canvas".

I added an empty area below the gradient stops which can be used as a drop-dead-zone.
