Bug ID: 160834
Summary: Unclear meaning of "Ignore pieces of length"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: tuomas.hiet...@iki.fi
Description:
The UI string "Ignore _pieces of length:" is somewhat confusing and
contradictory. The following explanation is given in Help: "Set the minimum
number of characters to trigger a valid comparison."
The UI and Help are at odds here, because it's not clear whether the selected
number of characters is to be ignored (as indicated by the UI string) or if
it's the minimum amount to be taken into account (as indicated by Help)
"Pieces of length" should IMO also be reworded for clarity. I'd suggest
replacing the string with something like "Minimum number of characters to
compare" (if Help is correct) or "Maximum number of characters to ignore" (if
Help is not).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> Comparison
Actual Results:
The UI string is confusing and contradicts Help.
Expected Results:
The UI string and Help are in agreement and are easy to understand.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
