[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2023-Feb-28

Present: Sahil, John, Eyal, Heiko
Comments: Ady, Mike, Rainer, Timur, Stuart, Tomaz

Tickets/Topics

 * Lowercase "a" and uppercase "A" wrongly shows as one "a" in
   Autofilter dropdown
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159737
   + AutoFilter follows the setting in the Standard Filter (Ady)
   + a) WF/NAB, b) description, c) configuration (Mike)
   + not so clear whether case-sensitivity works (Rainer)
   + would expect case-sensitivity (John)
   + users might be not aware of uppercase character/word if
     we hide it; rather let the user uncheck (Heiko)
   + all options better go to the full filter dialog (Sahil)
   + Excel shows items case-sensitive (John)
   + make it independent from standard filter option (Heiko)
   => comment

 * UI: Cell protection dialog reference menu that don't exist
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159748
   + remove this part from the string (Heiko, Timur)
   + menu does exists; against changing the string (Ady, Stuart)
   + point to the help page (Tomaz)
     + against this hint to "use the help content" (Ady)
     + link to the appropriate help pages is reasonable (Stuart)
     + idea was probably to have a hyperlink in the string
   + alternatively change the label depending on the UI mode,
     or amend the existing text with the Notebookbar solution (Eyal)
   + sheet/cell protection is not for beginners and we can expect
     users to learn the function (Sahil)
   => preferably use a more generic description

 * Manage changes dialog should allow action on all filtered changes
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115515
   + WFM/INV, at least from the sidebar (Heiko)
   => resolve ticket

 * Consistent polygon tool behavior in Draw
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131758
   + (1) how to finish the input: easy to miss and hard to undo (Eyal)
      + perhaps have some interaction to undo the last point
      + edit points allow to remove unwanted
   + (2) finishing methods: MSO ends polygon as well per double-click
      but also on escape
   + (3) close a polyline: by ctrl+click? in any case up to documentation
   + (4) how to enter PolyPoly-mode: same answer as above
   + (5) Is it really intended... obviously no user has joined the discussion
   + users tend to accept shortcomings and we might do better (Eyal)
   + would rather think of a list that takes all points and allows to edit
     independently from the interaction method (Heiko)
   + giving a hint on the interaction at the command label? not so good (John)
   + any change needs to be a convincing improvement (Eyal)
   + Inkscape behavior is similar to our workflow
