Tickets/Topic
* VIEWING Enhancement: Show cursor position as percentage of document
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138982
+ nice to have but rather as document statistics with line/column
number (Heiko); OP replied: "not suited for my use case"
+ limited value to our 'Benjamin' users (Stuart)
+ Writer is not a layout program (Sascha)
=> WF
* VIEW MENU: Replace View>Show Horizontal Scroll Bar/Vertical Scroll Bar
with single menu entry
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138538
+ pointless change; modifications to the main menu need very good
reason (Roman, Stuart)
+ many programs like GIMP and Inkscape switch all SB on/off; but
LibreOffice has a submenu for the scrollbars individually (Sascha)
+ scrollbars belong to the OS/DE and whether they be small or hide
after a while is up to the system (Heiko)
+ scrollbars have a high value as they show the document position
+ comparison with image editors is bad because canvas is moved per mouse
+ rulers have a master switch with a shortcut (Sascha)
+ but a weird interaction with checkboxes that are not independent
+ we could improve the rulers, have a master switch plus both vertical and
horizontal options - and the same for scrollbars with the advantage of
a shortcut to switch (both) scrollbars off (Sascha)
+ doubt the use case; horizontal scrolling, ie. high zoom level,
is very unusual (Heiko)
+ benefit is that LibreOffice becomes more familiar with other tools (Sascha)
=> does not hurt to add the command but has low priority
* UI: Label "type" & Image in the image properties dialog not really helpful
(self-explaining)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138844
+ no change for sake of changing, Image may remain Image (Gerhard)
+ Type is misleading (Regina)
+ Type => Position and Size, Image => Flip and Rotation (Heiko)
+ Image could be just Rotation (Sascha)
+ charts and formula objects also use "Type" (for position and size
information), text box and shapes "Position and Size"
+ "Rotation" is used at shapes too
=> do it
* Add bulk-save/bulk-close options for documents
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101247
+ multi-document interface (MDI) instead of an application with one interface
for all documents/graphics is are rather not suited for this method
+ optional if implementation is easy with less maintenance (Jan, Thomas)
+ special workflow, better realized per macro (Sascha)
+ don't see the benefit from one dialog with many checkboxes for
MDI documents (would be different in case of SDI) (Heiko)
+ command "Save All" works fine anyway (Sascha)
+ "Close All" without asking to save changes is a dangerous function
and I'm strongly against it (Heiko)
=> WF (not much benefit with some effort)
* The "Strong" button when added to a toolbar shows "Strong Emphasis"
not Strong
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136686
+ keep "Strong Emphasis" and rename the UNO command (MikeK)
=> follow Mike's suggestion
* Using Ctrl + Shift + B and Ctrl + Shift + I for Emphasis and Strong Emphasis
character styles (and change Super/Subscript keyboard shortcuts)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108015
+ rather alt+shift+e/s for _E_mphasis and _S_trong Emphasis (Seth)
+ Strong Emphasis might be bold but could be any other style (see also
bug 136686 comment 8 above); therefore the association with direct
formatting is misleading
+ it's not possible to customize character style shortcuts (bug 106785)
neither is one assigned
=> keep the CS empty and resolve ticket as WF
