Future State UI Worksheet Tab Design
Calc 3.5.4.2 showing small tabs on bottom |

[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html I had the same problem using Linux/xfce desktop which had the overlay-scrollbar package installed. This package is responsible for drawing just a thin line instead of a scrollbar in all kinds of windows and show a scroll handle only when you move the mouse over it. After uninstalling this package (together with liboverlay-scrollbar-x.y.z the scrollbar in LibreOffice calc is drawn again in a normal size and the sheet tabs are readable again. Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem.

Calc 3.5.4.2 showing small tabs on bottom
The issue with tabs that are too small to work with still exists in Calc 3.5.4.2 as show in the the attached image "Calc 3.5.4.2 showing small tabs on bottom". Set status to NEW *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 36772 *** |
Created attachment 48835 [details] Future State UI Worksheet Tab Design PROBLEM: The worksheet tabs located at the bottom of the User Interface for Calc are poorly rendered and too small to be usable. They interfere with the horizontal scroll bar so that there is either not enough horizontal real estate for the tabs, or not enough horizontal real estate for the scroll bar. PROPOSED SOLUTION: Move the worksheet tabs to the top of the UI, following the generally accepted design practice of placing tabs at the top of a user interface. To improve usability, make the tabs larger so they are easier to work with. Use a more pleasing tab design, rather than the crude tiny trapezoidal design used currently. (Please see a mock-up of this proposal, Libre_Office_Tabs_On_Top.png, attached). With this new approach, the tabs will have more horizontal space; the horizontal scroll bar will remain at the bottom, but it will utilize the entire width of the document, as per established user interface design practices.
