*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 78195 ***
need to change to resolved invalid
One issue should address one issue (or may be very similar issues) this one particularly fixed as Issue 78195) If anybody want other subissues to be fixed, please file as separate enhancements/defects etc. I'll file myself for same width/height tool
I do believe this issue should be keep open until all other issues has been solved, so we never loose valuable information reported here (and on other issues, of course). This could be an "umbrella" for all other issues for formatting. I agree to close this issue if all requirements already been solved. If this is the case, we should mark this issue as duplicated of several others. That's MHO.
Yes, I agree it can be closed as a duplicate rather then as invalid if several separate issues will be filed, it's much easier to track/fix/verify more narrow issues when big one may never be resolved because of different priority of sub-items.
