Re: [libreoffice-design] Suggestion to Improve Libreoffice - Reg

Hello TR,

you cross-post to different mailing lists, this is assumed as bad habit. Please 
register yourself and use one list.

In general we work on Bugzilla. Please report bugs or submit enhancement 
requests on this platform, see [1]. Our QA team organizes topics in META tickets 
making it easier to check whether a similar has been filed. For the mail merge 
question it is [2], there are many topics around menus, eg. [3]. I don't 
understand #3 (copy table) and #4 (lists in tables).

If you report something like "menus are confusing" it's not actionable. The 
documentation team has written many great tutorials and manuals, and a complex 
software such as any full-featured office suite requires learning (reading 
"confusing" in terms of "hard to understand"). If your "confusing" means 
"unorganized" please be more specific. Ideally with a use case like "I want to 
achieve <Foo> and try <Bar>. But <Baz> hinders me to do it. I tried <Qux> but it 
didn't help." Of course you are welcome to make a suggestion.

Please always keep in mind that your workflow might not be what the average user 
does. The design team will balance your needs with possible negative impact and 
needed effort and make a suggestion to either resolve or to not fix the issue.

Do you know the community help site https://ask.libreoffice.org/? Could also be 
a start to discuss problems.

Cheers,
Heiko
