Priority: medium
Bug ID: 58133
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: : No Transparency what Happened with Changed Options
if you Change to another Options Dialog
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: harald-koes...@htp-tel.de
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.4.3 release
Component: Libreoffice
Product: LibreOffice
To my opinion not all aspects mentioned in bug 39452 are resolved. The comment
list of that bug is quite long. So I tried to disentangle this a bit with new
bug reports. This is the second of them.
If you like to change an option you usually open the according options dialog,
change the option and then close the dialog with OK. But you don't really know
what happened with changed options if you change directly to another options
dialog. Is the changed option saved or not? Will it be saved with OK in the
second options dialog or not? What happened with changed options if you cancel
the second options dialog? What happened with the option if you click “Revert”?
...
I made some tests according this aspect and found out that the behaviour is not
always equal. For example do this:
(1) Start LO and open a new text document.
(2) Open option dialog: Tools > Options... > LibreOffice > General.
(3) Check “Extended tips”.
(4) Change to option dialog “Memory”.
(5) Click Cancel.
(6) Open option dialog: Tools > Options... > LibreOffice > General. The option
“Extended tips” is checked, that means it has been saved with step (4).
If you perform the same procedure with a Writer option the behaviour is
different:
(2) Open option dialog: Tools > Options... > LibreOffice Writer > View.
(3) Check “Helplines While Moving”.
(4) Change to option dialog “General”.
(5) Click Cancel.
(6) Open option dialog: Tools > Options... > LibreOffice Writer > View. In
this case the option “Helplines While Moving” is not checked. Contrary to the
first example the option has not been saved. At step (5) you have to click OK
in order to save the changed option of step (3).
To my opinion for a better transparency what happened, a user should decide
directly when he leaves an option dialog whether the changed option shall be
saved or not. This means at step (4) in the example. In order to provide this
decision a message “You changed “LibreOffice Writer – General” options. Do you
want to save your changes?” or similar has to be displayed if an option has
been changed by the user.
Operating System: Windows 7
