Other apps such as Writer and Calc also have their own entries available only when the application is running. TBH I don't know why we hide the options for apps that are not running. I would show them all, all the time. LibreOffice is an office suite, and Tools - Options should allow to configure the entire office suite, regardless of which application is running. Is there any technical issue that prevents showing all options when an application is not running? (In reply to Rafael Lima from comment #1) > Other apps such as Writer and Calc also have their own entries available > only when the application is running. The problem here is that you cannot see the menu even when you are within a Math object if on "OLE mode." Also noticed that the associated expert config stanza 'InlineEditEnable' provided when visual mode was "graduated" from experimental [1] is not quite right. Despite the noted inability to reach the Math module specific options during OLE edit, the expert config should work from any module via Tools -> Options -> Open Expert Configuration. The stanza gets recorded from expert config to user profile registrymodifications.xcu, but it does not override the value set apparently *only* from the Tools -> Options -> Math -> Settings dialog. Seems like the registry value should follow along with both the settings panel and the expert config stanza. =-ref-= https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/156486 |
