Bug ID: 150375
Summary: Indicate non-printing line numbers with faint gray
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
When a user enables line numbering, they are somewhat interested in the
relative number of each line on the page/within the document. Often, they don't
want the final printed document to have a number on every line, but when
working on the document, the balance probably tilts more towards in the benefit
of more line numbers being visible (but not intrusively so). This is somewhat
similar to table cell boundaries: Many of them usually don't get printed as
lines, but are useful to help the user while editing the document.
I therefore suggest that when displaying line numbers, at the set frequency we
will see a fully-realized number (typically black-color; current default is
once every 5 lines); but on every line we'll have a faint/semi-transparent
number, which doesn't get printed. The user will have the option to make the
faint per-line numbers disappear, either through the line numbering dialog, or
by toggling non-printing marks, or both. They will be on by default to help
avoid the confusion described in issue 150237.
