------- Additional comments from m...@openoffice.org Wed Jul 1 14:05:19 +0000 2009 ------- [Originally reported at <http://launchpad.net/bugs/394394>] OpenOffice.org 3.0.1, Ubuntu 9.04 By default, OpenOffice.org Writer's Standard toolbar contains two toolbar buttons with near-identical icons: "Spelling & Grammar" and "AutoSpellcheck". During Canonical user testing, one test subject said: "The only thing that I'm not quite sure about is that there's two like 'ABC' check [buttons], I'm not sure [which is which]." An easy way to resolve this confusion would be to remove the AutoSpellcheck button from the set of buttons shown by default, since toggling automatic specllecking on and off almost certainly is not one of the most commonly desired commands in OO.o Writer. (This would have an incidental aesthetic benefit, in that removing a button from the Standard toolbar would make the two default toolbars exactly the same length.) An alternative fix would be to change the AutoSpellcheck icon so that it more obviously reflects the difference between it and the "Spelling & Grammar" function. I don't know if that's possible, though. Another approach would be to have one spellchecking menubutton in the toolbar, where the menu has a "Check Spelling Now" item and a "Check Spelling Automatically" checkbox item. That might be overcomplicating the design, though. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
