Yep -- sounds like a reasonable concern. Handing this the UX folks for their input on what types of captioning should be available. Component -> ux-advise Confirmed all of the above on Win 8, 8.1, x64. The most surprising is that it worked well in all OO/LO previours versions we used in the company, that is OO 3.2, LO 4.2. I am not sure if I should be commenting on this, or bug 58407 which debates what the default category should be. My view is that the default category should be made a user definable option (ie. an existing category, user defined string, or none). At the very least there needs to be a user defined default category, or an options to disable category additions to the caption. Maybe this could even be extended into a fully user definable list of categories, but that's a different RFE. We're replacing our use of the 'ux-advise' component with a keyword: Component -> LibreOffice Add Keyword: needsUXEval [NinjaEdit] (In reply to Andy from comment #0) > The problem n. 1 is, i... the "OK" button is deactivated...

The issue here is actually the wrong assignment of which button to be disable for [none], which is Options... And that should work now. => NAB |
