Introduction

Current implementation of line spacing allows no smaller spacing that single. Japanese government requires to have smaller spacing.

The spacings in need are:

0.25x

0.5x (most needed)

0.75x

Since it is agreed that we must not complicate our UI but rather strip it down by unnecessary feature it is not advised to add those setting to the Western UI but to show them only if CJK support is enabled.

Implementation

Three new entries (see Introduction) will be added to the “Line Spacing” dropdown list box found in “Format - Paragraph - Indents & Spacing” tab page.

One new entry (0.5 lines) will be made to the context menu when right-clicking into text ( Line Spacing -> ...)

This change must apply to all applications and all occurrences of this feature within. See also Screen Mockups)

Default value: The default value will remain “Single” for all applications

Order:
Order including new values should read like this in Format - Paragraph - Indents & Spacing” tab page:

Single (default)

0.25 lines

0.5 lines

0.75 lines

1.5 lines

etc...

Order in context menu ( Line Spacing -> ...) :

Line Spacing -> Single (default)

0.5 lines

1.5 lines

Double
