Hi Christoph,

Hi Cor, hi Cedric,

since I currently consume much of the discussion in (sometimes thin)
"slices", I'd like to ask some questions ... I'm currently a bit unsure
about what kind of feature we really talk.

At the beginning, I thought we talk about an optional visualization for
the headers ... but it seems we discuss a completely different behavior
for editing / accessing features.

So, do we talk about:
       * when editing headers/footers, then a new visualization shows

Yes

         what's getting edited:
               * new line and "Header: $PAGE_STYLE" are shown

Yes

               * the remaining document parts are grayed out (a bit)

Yes

       * editing headers/footers starts via "double click" on the desired
         area

Yes

       * during "normal" document editing, access to the headers/footers
         is not possible

Yes - and those are a bit grey too

If this is correct, then a "-1" from my side to the whole package. I'd
like to understand more about the issues we currently run into (e.g.

Issues we run into with the changes or with the current behaviour?
a.  with the current behaviour.
Not so many. Only since headers/footers are easily accessible, there is some change that they get changed by accident. And the difference between main text and headers/footers is not that big. Especially when people turn of text borders (menu View), cause they do not know those from Word (where they are turned of by default).

b. with the changes: see the other mail. No real that I have found so far.

whether the preconditions - partly very different from MSO interaction
design - support/enable such a change). One tiny example are the current
gray separator lines - being shown all the time,

As written, that depends.

although the content
itself is only editable via a (hidden) double-click. Furthermore, do we
run into accessibility problems? ...

Ctrl-PgUp/PgDwn still work.

@ Cor: I still don't understand that well how to access such features
apart from the available daily builds. Can you please provide a hint how
to test it (since I use VMs, any kind of Linux is okay).

Well,  in this case just download the code and build it :-)
Or wait for the daily build to be back again (should not take long, Friedrich was tinkering a bit with the servers, links for the new branches, IIAC) But in general: there is no general rule ;-) Depends on the feature, and how much is pushed to the master already.

Sorry for lacking proper understanding at the moment ... and maybe
delaying things. But I did not get the idea of the change in the mail
yesterday. But, I'll promise to help to make this a cool feature :-)

Did my questions/remarks/pictures for Cédric help to better understand?
Regards,
Cor
