[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2023-Apr-26

Present: Cor, Eyal, Heiko
Comments: Stuart, Mike, Ady, Ilmari

Tickets/Topics

 * Replace string is empty
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154831
   + no need, WF (Stuart)
   + pro: common behavior, annoying to reselect, con: easy to do,
     danger of accidently replacing when just searching (Eyal)
   + last items are remembered but prefer to not auto select since
     destructive functions should be guarded (Cor, Heiko)
   => WF

 * The default width of Calc columns should be a bit narrower
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154788
   + change the default col width?
   + better use a proper template (Mike)
   + expected length should be taken into account (Ady)
   + Excel too narrow, 2cm more appealing but very much personal
     taste (Cor)
   => let's run a poll on social media

 * "Apply border and shadow" option should be removed from
   AutoCaption dialog
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154686
   + unclear function, no idea what it is good for (all)
   + blame anyone? (Eyal)- string dates back when the UI was
     created from previous *.src file
   + just hide/drop the UI control (Heiko)
   + prefer to dig into the issue aka bug (Cor)
   + charts apparently don't get the autocaption (Heiko)
   => bug, needsDevAdvice

 * UI: "augmented reality" hovering mode (immediate display of
   underlying formulas etc.)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147326
   + maybe as extension (Ilmari)
   + use case a bit unclear, but seems not to be a frequent
     use case (Eyal)
   + would be a clumsy interaction; and very slow with the tooltip
     delay (Heiko)
   + tooltip would clash with Tools > Options > Calc > View >
     Formula Indicator and Hint (Heiko)
   + wonder if View > Value Highlighting is sufficient (Cor, Eyal)
   => ask OP if that sufficient
