Hi,


Some questions:
       * How does the new grid behavior relate to the print options? Do
         printed grid and viewable grid behave the same (with regard to
         cell background colors)?

From what I see - not at all. It's currently only for on-screen visualization. (What is btw. the same for the grid line color. You can define the view-color per spreadsheet, but printout is always black.)
...
Looking at the number of issues (which is enormous given the size of the
"feature"), I agree with André. We should decide what we want to have
(generally), rework it, do some more QA here, and enable the
documentation team to create some consistent help.

Addressing single issues doesn't help here that much ... otherwise we
would (e.g.) start to document sub-optimal behavior.

That's my gut-feeling too. And we will not only "document" this - once we start removing options we might need to migrate them to some other settings. I don't like the idea of migrating settings back and forth just because we removed something that is usefull
for our users.


So, Kohei, André, how to continue?


Hmm .. although the topic at hand seems to be tiny, we already have quite a mess in LibO with this. (It's not much better in OOo btw., many of us just never noticed it or got used to it.) I surely have some time to work on this during the next months (so target would be 3.5). I need to do things step-by-step (as I'm still learning), but would not like to start before we know what the steps should be.

The complicated thing here to me seems to find a good and consistent solution for end users first.


regards,

André
