Bug ID: 120726
Summary: Writer UI: Table protected cell message is breaking
the workflow
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: jean-francois.nifenec...@laposte.net
Description:
When table cells are protected, any attempt to enter data brings a warning
message which might disturb the user and break the workflow.
I think it would be useful to be able to configure Writer so that these warning
messages are not displayed.
A good place could be in the options dialog: LibreOffice Writer > Formatting
aids, add a checkbox in the "Protected zones" area, labelled like "Show warning
messages" (checked by default).
I think that both the "read-only" status in the status bar and the lock
toolbutton present in the Table toolbar are sufficient clues if the warning
message is not displayed.
Note: the option of deactivating the cursor in protected cells actually gets
rid of the said warning. This would be disturbing because in this situation the
user can't actually locate his actions/the insertion point within the document.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a table
2. Select a cell
3. Menu Table > Protect cells
Actual Results:
Trying to enter data in that cell results in a warning message.
Expected Results:
Trying to enter data in that cell does just nothing visible.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
