------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Feb 28 05:30:11 -0800 2005 ------- When opening a Japanese document in OpenOffice.org 1.9.62, noticed the View menu is ignoring user selection. Choosing either Print Layout or Web Layout will do the same thing. They will just change the Layout to the type that is not being shown. For example if you are in Web Layout and select View->Web Layout, you end up with Print Layout. This is disconcerting, since even though it means well, the user interface is actually lying to the user and when you discover this you can't tell if it is a bug or intentional wierdness. Since I never noticed it before I started worrying that I might be having a low memory condition, is my document in danger, etc. This happened after another bug crashed Ooo so I was disturbed. Suggestion: Do not make the menu items change operation according to the current view. Instead, change the menu label "Print Layout" to "Print Layout" and change the menu label "Web Layout" to "Draft View". It doesn't seem true that the Web Layout is only about the Web, it seems mainly used for editting without having your line of reading being interrupted by simulated page breaks and margins. To be precise, layout is the operation the user is doing in the window when he or she is not entering text, whereas the top two items in the View menu are about changing the way the user views that layout (synonymous to a database view vs. entering data into a database or changing its layout (table definitions). The notion of a View is very important and useful to databases, and likewise it is so with a Word Processor. So the word "view" should not only be used more than just as the name of a menu, but also expanded as a major functional component of the overall system.
