Re: [Libreoffice-ux-advise] [libreoffice-design] Option for gridline display in Calc (fdo#30800)

Ha, what it really highlights is that LibO currently doesn't separate
well. This seems the biggest bug in the current Options box (affects
Language, Colour, etc. settings).
Take a look at Scribus to see a much better approach. They've got two
completely different dialogues that set mostly the same things with
the difference being that one is per-document, the other is for the
application and all new documents.

What I don't get is why the application-wide setting under
LibreOffice–Appearance overrides the per-document setting under
Calc–View.

I'd say most people won't notice, but removing this completely now
that it's there doesn't seem an option—for now it probably has to
stay. Okay, is it possible to combine all the things under Objects
into one option "[X] Show graphical objects" [1] and then simply add
the new checkbox the dialogue?
If not, it's probably best to go for the Compatibility page.

[1] What's the use case for these options? Screen-reader friendliness?
Lower resource usage?
