Sending a gentle ping with regards to this enhancement request. Please have a look at it and confirm it. It has been sitting around for already half a year (or 2003 if I take the OpenOffice.org bug entry) :-) @Gerry: sorry you had to wait this long. Especially for your activity in LibreOffice. But, after this time I can confirm this is a horrible implementation. Still can confirm using W8 with LibreOffice 4.1.0.1 RC. I totally agree there is a (big) usability issue here. NEW, but as enhancement (high). Kind regards and thanks for reporting, Joren Thanks a lot Joren for looking into this bug. Caolan mentioned once that the AutoText dialogue is already ported to the .ui format. However, without any usability changes yet (screenshots here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/WidgetLayout#Screenshots). This porting of the .ui makes it much easier to make future changes in this dialog, though. Caolan described it like this: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core and play around with glade and sw/swriter/ui/autotext.ui I tried a bit myself, but I did not get very far, unfortunately. Actually setting to NEW (joren already confirmed this in comment 2). Still unusable in 5.3beta2. I'm glad you had the instructions written clearly or I wouldn't have been able to figure out how to add it, and a disabled "insert" button doesn't help... Wouldn't insert mean add the autotext I just created into the existing list? Changing priority back to 'medium' since the number of duplicates is lower than 5 Confirming this "bug" I'm using autotextes, but when I have to add one, I often need to search on the web to refresh my mind how to do it I felt free to add Andreas Kainz to this bug, since he works on dialog layouts. The AutoText dialog (as described in this bug) has a terrible usability. Maybe Andreas has an idea for its improvement. *** Bug 141430 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 152574 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
