[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 135373] It is impossible to move text blocks independently of the Headings that they're underneath

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135373

--- Comment #6 from Matthew Forrester <matthew.forrester@exeter-oxford.com> ---
Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr Raykowski and others who
have added outlining features. It's one of the most useful improvements to
LibreOffice Writer ever.

Secondly, I support this feature enhancement request so that the full power of
outlining can be exploited. I sometimes use outlining in the way that Mr
Brenneman describes, with the headers as temporary scaffolding. More often, I
keep the headers in the final presentation version. But in both cases I want to
be able to move body (non-header) paragraphs around quickly and easily as the
structure of the argument evolves. It would definitely be a Quality-of-Life
improvement if I could just click on something like an anchor point (where the
open/collapse button appears for headers) and grab the whole paragraph in order
to drag it elsewhere.

Dieter's option of selecting, cutting, and pasting text is how I work now (when
Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down is not feasible), but it requires more clicks and it's often
fiddly.

As discussed in bug 38093, this behaviour should only be available in Outline
View to avoid confusing users who are not used to outlining.
