Bug ID: 115519
Summary: Enhance the conditional formatting confirmation dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: thomas.le...@gmail.com
Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on a cell which contains condition formatting.
2. Go to Format > Conditional Formatting > Condition... (or in LO 6.1 and
newer: right-click and choose "Conditional Formatting...").
3. A message box dialog appears, asking you what to do.
Actual text:
"The selected cell already contains conditional formatting. You can either edit
the existing conditional format or you define a new overlapping conditional
format.
Do you want to edit the existing conditional format?
[Yes] [No]"
2 issues with the actual dialog:
a) I don't understand the question "Do you want to edit the existing
conditional format? [Yes] [No]" - Why should a user want to work with
conditional formatting and then click at [No]? That makes no sense.
b) The text above the question says "You can either edit the existing ... or
you define a new ...". That's a completely different statement and has nothing
to do with the question below of it.
Suggestion:
I vote to remove the question that causes issue a).
Also I suggest to change the whole dialog. Maybe that was the original
intention of it? A new question must be introduced that is based on the first
sentence in the dialog (which already must be changed according to what the
final, new dialog proposes to the user). 3 conditions come into my mind:
1) User wants a new conditional formatting exactly on the selected cell(s).
2) User wants to edit the existing conditional formatting on the selected
cell(s).
3) User wants to edit the existing conditional formatting of the contiguous
cells that contain the identical conditional formatting that exists in the
selected cell(s).
Any thoughts?
