------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 11 20:44:43 -0700 2005 ------- Preliminary note: This is not restricted to a single version of the software; I have tested and encountered the same problem in OO 1.1.4 (stable) on Solaris 9 and OO 2.0 rc2 on a Linux machine. OOWriter notes appear very different from the MS Office notes that I expect they are based upon, leading to unexpected behaviour when editing MS Office formats, decreased visibility, and confusion when attempting to comment on text blocks. In MS Office, I am able to select a block of text and insert a "Comment" (Comment on the Insert menu); the text block is thereby highlighted and a comment attached to it. In OpenOffice Writer, a "Note" (Insert menu => Note) is inserted as a yellow highlighted space; that is, a single anchor character--much less visible than an entire highlighted block. Furthermore, if I attempt to place a note pertaining to an entire block, as in MS Office, the text I highlight is DELETED and a Note inserted in its place. This is not the expected behaviour. I propose the following: Preferred behaviour would be similar to MS Office: A Note should be associated with a block of text, which should be highlighted. If the user highlights text and Inserts a Note, the text should remain and be associated with the Note; the text should not be deleted. Notes might be deleted by right-clicking or double-clicking (perhaps with a Delete button in the Edit Note dialogue window) rather than by deleting the anchor character like a textual character. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
