--- Comment #13 from V Stuart Foote <vsfo...@libreoffice.org> --- (In reply to Buovjaga from comment #12) > It should be changed because the two different highlights provide no value > in the Recent Documents view and instead cause a jarring visual effect, when > the selection confusingly stays put while the highlight follows the mouse. > No, the MRU selection and mouseover highlight are now clearly different visual events on the StartCenter with Heiko's tweak for bug 158084 -- sorry but I don't see it as as "jarring visual effect" in any sense. > The change is in no way drastic as it makes the mouse behaviour coherent and > does not remove any functionality. If you want to argue it is drastic, > please provide concrete scenarios where things get worse due to the change. > It is drastic as attempts to change the mouseover into a selection action serves no purpose in the UI. It does not consolidate anything--mouseover on SC sidebar, on Menu submenu items, and on Toolbar widgets behaves the same as the SC thumbnail views--with focus/selection remaining while mouseover highlights and triggers tooltips. Selections are not changed there either. In fact the mouseover changes to the SC would cause more user annoyance than any visual improvement to the UI. > In the Templates view we should probably make the multiselection more useful > by allowing Shift/Ctrl-clicking to expand the selection. Now it is difficult > to discover for mouse users as it only works via keyboard. Not clear there should be a multi-select for the Templates as now via keyboard--to me that is an implementation error. You can only open one template at a time to create a new document--and the last selected in a multi-select has the focus and is used for the new document. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
