[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2022-Feb-24

Present: Amina, Heiko
Comments: Andreas, Thomas, Jack, Eike, Stuart, Cor, Gabor, Harald, Seth, Jan

Tickets/Topics

 * switch location of "Increase Indent" and "Decrease Indent"
   icons on Writer toolbar
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147524
   + makes sense (Jan)
   + most software start with increase (Amina)
   + first you have to increase before decrease is possible (Heiko)
   + compatibility is important, MSO has the button reverted
   + not a bug deal for UX to change as toolbar buttons are barely used (Amina)
   => let's do it

 * Redesign LibreOffice Options Start Page
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130083
   + no objection (Thomas), not a bad plan (Cor), difficult to pick (Jack)
   + no clear requirement, better not do it (Thomas, Jan)
   + proposed landing page is not beneficial to me (Amina)
   => WF

 * Navigator SB deck, 'Go to Page' Spin box is holding deck width too wide
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141728
   + moving the site number field underneath the dropdown makes sense (Amina)
   + would rather remove the buggy control (does not pick up the current
     page number, nor the "go to" page dialog input or next/previous page next
     to it) (Heiko)
   + create tickets on what's not working (Amina)
   => better move the control than do nothing

 * Calc: Delete Tools>Options>LibreOffice Calc>Compatibility page
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143187
   + still required (Eike)
   + move to expert options (Heiko, Stuart)
   + move to default and pimp with MSO bindings (Gabor, Thomas)
   + pointless and confusing feature, with negative impact on usability,
     making false expectations to switch the full shortcut customization to
     some other layout- hiding as far as possible from users
     is best (Amina, Heiko)
   => move to expert option (if the effort is not too much higher than
      moving to Default)
