[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2024-Dec-04

Present: Sahil, Cor, Eyal, Bogdan, John, Heiko
Comments: Ady, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

 * Allow the user to delete his own bibliography references
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162858
   + bibliography is a reference to the database like other fields
     and none can be deleted from the insert/edit dialog (Heiko, Cor)
   => WF

 * Allow formulas autocompletion / syntax hints tooltip in conditional
   formatting rules editor
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163623
   + not reasonable that an unknown complex formula is used (Heiko)
   + but we don't know and users might benefit from it (Cor)
   + rather keep things simple (Sahil)
   + assistance is desirable everywhere, not just the CF dialog;
     assistance not necessarily via tooltips (Eyal)
     + make help available in CF dialog (Cor)
   => comment

 * Allow setting more global printing defaults
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163385
   + unclear report (Cor)
   + OP complains about margins not applicable to printer (Eyal)
     + if margins are manually set to zero it should be applied (Heiko)
     + bug 103683 asks for more standardized margins, could be a dup
   + make Handout the default for printing? (Heiko)
   => resolve Invalid with the recommendation to create a new ticket

 * Inserting new comment in Calc disables the "show all comments"
   setting
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161972
   + some discussion on the ticket explaining the current workflow (Ady)
   + tri-state is probably too far-fetched and not suited for a menu (Heiko)
   + but we may introduce a setting under tools > options > calc >
     view: "[ ] New comments visible" which allows to create new
     comments expanded (Heiko)
   + use case is reasonable (Eyal)
   + show/hide is applied to the cell selection (Cor)
     and the menu state always correctly shows if all are visible or not.
   + make the menu item a true toggle and follow this setting for
     new comments (Sahil)
     + not advisable and breaking the workflow for many users (Ady)
       + don't understand why that should be the case (Cor)
         (but didn't take a lot of time to study..)
   + not much concerns about the workflow (Heiko)
   => comment
      seems it needs some more thinking for the ideal solution, not
      breaking Calc functionality, yet preventing confusing with
      newcomers

 * Make non-breaking hyphen visible again in normal use case
   (at least as an option)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164034
   + done by design, NAB (Stuart, Eyal)
   + nbhy/nbsp apparently does nothing - but actually it inserts something
     without the distinction from normal space or hyphen unless a
     line break (Heiko)
   + reasonable request because....
   + naming is wrong since hyphen are not spaces; better go with
     "Non-breaking spaces and hyphen" - too long, "...glyph" not
      translatable, "... " + tooltip - uncommon, "...character" unclear
     (Eyal, Cor)
   + go with the potentially too long version (Heiko)
   => resolve NAB
