I confirm the observation, but I would treat it as enhancement request rather than a bug report. I also think, that it should be separated into different reports. But let's ask design-team. Perhaps it's more a lack of documentation. There is no issue. Simply toggle the legacy main menu enabled, 1st button on the Tabbed UI's bar, and select Vertical Ruler from the View -> Rulers sub menu. Several of the MUFFIN Notebook Bar modes simply suppress the main menu, but as noted there are some UNO controls that are not available as button actions on the GTK Glade based assemblages. Or where NB designer decided buttons are not enabled shown by default, but can be 'Customized' to show. In this case the NB Tabbed UI does not provide a customization to checkbox enable the Vertical Ruler (.uno:VRuler), or enable it by default. Its action is available from the main menu View -> Rulers, but an UNO button toggle action might be helpful as a customize checkbox for the NB Tabbed/Tabbed Compact UI. By default enabled would spoil packing of the current View button grouping, so don't see it as necessary. The "Rulers" toggle on the Tabbed UI shows/hides both the horizontal and vertical ruler at once. I think we should provide all options without the main menu. And rather than having the Rulers command duplicated under the View dropdown, we should provide the toggle for .uno:VRuler there. Or both as we do on the main menu. UI-wise it makes a lot of sense to complement the .uno:VRuler with .uno:HRuler (.uno:Rulers hides the rulers and disables both). But I struggle with a reasonable use case. And since we don't have a VRuler-only mode, I could also imagine a solution per bug 87897. Meaning the context menu of the horizontal ruler allows to show/hide the vertical ruler. We discussed the topic in the design meeting. The majority voted against keeping the rarely used function "hidden" in the options dialog and to have it available in the Tabbed UI. To do so, we recommend to (virtually) turn uno:Rulers into uno:HRulers so it switches only the horizontal ruler on/off. Both options should be available under a submenu Rulers. |
