[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2023-Apr-04

Present: Felix, Cor, Hossein, Rafael, Heiko
Comments: Mike, Regina, Bogdan, Timur, Cor, Stephane

Tickets/Topics

 * "Page number" automatic field stops counting before last page if offset >0
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35694
   + help is clear on the function (Regina)
   + just a wording issue but rather introduce another field "page reference",
      which would have the offset attribute (Mike, Regina)
   + comment 70 and 78 are wisdom; missing a good proposal (Cor)
   + compatibility is prime (Hossein)
     + neither prev/next nor offset are stored with docx
     + MSO offsets per field code like "{={PAGE}-10} of {={NUMPAGES}*20}"
       showing "-9 of 80" (not stored as a field on saving as ODT)
   + offset for pagee count is via set variable > page + x (Heiko)
   => comment on ticket

 * Replies to comment are in reverse order
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160350
   + chat-like order D, C, B, A (latest on top) vs. book style
     A, B, C, D (latest at bottom) (Bogdan)
   + latest on top makes sense (Heiko)
   + current implementation shows comments on the place where they
     are made, i.e. below the comment where one chooses: reply,
     which makes sense to me (Cor)
   + all other applications do it book-like (Timur, Bogdan, Felix)
   => do it (consider an expert option)

 * Add toolbar icons to change UI and scheme to switch Light/Dark
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160349
   + useful for tester and user (Rafael)
     + switching only tools > application colors via the new control (Rafael)
     + fixes fallout from bug 160445
   + strongly against adding rarely used functions to the primary UI,
     options would also be hard-coded and not easy to remove later (Heiko)
   + MS has a "Switch Modes" option in the View ribbon (Hossein, Felix)
   => majority are for the option

 * Pressing Tab with partially selected numbered paragraphs deletes content
   instead of changing level
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160317
   + agree on the expectation (Stephane, Felix)
   + inconsistent with inserting a literal tab (Heiko)
   + compatibility is prime (Hossein)
     + tab overwrites in MSO; but tab on the first list item indents
       the whole list anyway (only second increases the level we do)
     + literal tab is inserted on any position >0, ie. inside the text
     + otherwise the level for the whole selection is increased
   + always indent for selection over multiple paragraphs (Rafael, Felix)
   + current behavior depends on selection mode, ie. adding selection inserts
     at the beginning while extend does on the end (Heiko)
   => majority agrees with the request
