Hi Christophe,

No, no mis-understanding in general - it is about whether people are
able to understand the behavior. Simply "enabling a toolbar icon" isn't
enough in such case. Example:

        Ah - ok; well - we could turn the grid on while in this mode to provide
some visual indication ;-) presumably it is most useful when drawing.

In our case it seems, that we want to copy a fragment (sticky behavior)
of this "advanced drawing capability" for e.g. Draw/Impress - without
thinking what will be the consequences.

        Nah - we're asking you to think about the consequences :-) and Federico
has a reasonably complete proposal I guess, might be better to put it
into the wiki so it can be edited, but ...

At the end, it it about whether our users can cope with such behavior
and whether it is an improvement for them. At the moment, I don't have
sufficient information to provide a (guessed) statement.

        Well - we have at least one user complaining about it, and one that has
a lot of relevant UI experience, and who has provided a patch :-) If
there is no data on whether users can cope either way - I'd personally
love to change it. If we are passionate enough about the old way, we can
have "yet another option" - and eventually hide it in a new mozilla-like
options list (perhaps) ;-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
