[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2021-Sep-29

Present: Bogan (muted), Heiko
Comments: Sascha, Adolfo, Roman, Mike, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

 * The Gallery popup option "Insert as Background" should appear
   only in Writer
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144201
   + fix it for Draw/Impress or remove completely
   => remove

 * Horizontal Ruler Comments button issue if in Zoom Factor Optimal
   or Fit Width
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144419
   + relying on this button makes no sense, eradicate it (Sascha)
     + requires a solution anyway (Adolfo)
   + View > Comments toggles the comments pane visibility
     and adjusts the optimal zoom accordingly (Heiko)
   + optimal means to hide the pane when collapsed
   => resolve WF

 * Writer: No "Settings" or "Advanced" button in a "Insert footnote"
   dialog window
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144722
   + agree (Roman)
   + rather introduce resp. refer to different footnote style (Dave)
     + reasonable argument but too many design variants clutter the
       list of styles; and more relevant not all foot/endnote options
       are paragraph style attributes (Heiko)
   + having a shortcut to the configuration dialog makes sense (Mike)
   => do it

 * [ACCESSIBILITY] Copy object caption contents to object name,
   alt and description
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144375
   + makes sense in particular for a11y request in bug 39558 (Stuart)
   + name is not random and used in the Navigator, description is
     meant for sources or similar additional information (Heiko)
   + for the alternative text it improves a11y but implementation
     should consider to not change existing text
   => do it

 * Paste Special Comments and Text conflict
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139858
   + workaround to add-paste comment only could be to use the
     add option (Heiko)
     + not intuitive (John)
   + paste special /formats and /objects (anchored to cell) only
     does exactly what is requested and makes the content bold,
     for example, while numbers and comment remains intact
   + same happens the other way around and when pasting numbers only
     into a cell with formatting or attached object those stay alive
   => treat comments as formula or objects and keep cell content
