------- Additional comments from ro...@openoffice.org Tue Sep 8 15:31:54 +0000 2009 ------- Probably semantics get into our ways: - so let us define an "instance" to be an OpenOffice.org process serving a specific port. Clearly, such an "instance" can serve multiple documents (of various types), - let us define "document" to be of any type, edited by an "instance". There may be multiple distinct documents of any type that are edited by that "instance". Now, witness the following behaviour (this is on XP 3.0.1, German edition): - "Start -> OpenOffice.org -> OpenOffice.org Writer": causes a new document to be created and presented for editing, - "Start -> OpenOffice.org -> OpenOffice.org Writer": causes another new document to be created and presented for editing. In both of the above cases I used the same menu-option and two different documents got created. The same is true for all the different document type menu-options. Hence, it is intuitive that picking the same menu-option repeatedly, causes a new document to be created and presented for editing each time. HOWEVER, this is NOT true, if using the "OpenOffice.org 3.0" menu option (or double-clicking its icon for the same matter): in this case the behaviour is DIFFERENT which makes it a usability problem: - if no OOo document is being edited, then a window is created with a dialog that allows one to pick a document type; once picked a new document is created and presented for editing - if HOWEVER any OOo document is open already, then the behaviour now is as follows: OOo will focus on the last document that got presented for editing. The behaviour of "OpenOffice.org 3.0" is all of a suddent DIFFERENT to the other menu-options (e.g. "OpenOffice.org Writer", "OpenOffice.org Calc", "OpenOffice.org Impress", etc.), in that it does not allow one to create a new document at all anymore! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
