Bug ID: 165087
Summary: Difficult to find radio group for toolbar command
display style (Icon/Text/Both)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Despite having used LibreOffice for many years, I have not, until just today,
realized one can choose to show text labels for toolbar buttons.
You see, the location of the radio group which lets the user configure this is
extremely uninituitive, hidden away in a weirdly-placed hamburger menu in the
Customize dialog, Toolbars pane. I'll add screenshots to illustrate.
Problems:
* On right-clicking the toolbars, nothing guides you to this selection.
* On right-clicking the toolbars, nothing suggests such a choice may be
possible.
* Choosing the command display style is not quite a customization of the
toolbar, and arguably doesn't belong in that dialog
* The choice is located within a (sub)menu, not in the dialog pane itself
* The submenu is positioned in an area entitled "Target", although it doesn't
have much to do with any "Target"
* The submenu is a hamburger menu. That does not tell us what to expect for its
contents, plus, hamburger menus in the middle of a dialog and among other
controls is kind of weird.
Suggestions:
* Put this choice in a submenu of the View > Toolbars menu.
* Put this choice in a submenu on the context menu for toolbars.
* Put this choice directly within the Customize dialog, Toolbars pane - if it
is kept there at all, which may not be such a good idea
