Hi Kendy,
We discussed it with Cedric, and we cannot agree whether to show them or
not for read-only documents ;-) - my view is that when you cannot do
anything with the controls anyway, don't show them [contrary to eg. the
links that you still can use to navigate the document], while Cedric
argues that it is also a formatting hint.
My proposal is to show the page break dashed line even in the read-only
mode, but no indicator when you put mouse over that. Regarding
headers / footers, don't show anything when you put mouse over the
header / footer area at all.
What do you think?
My opinion is that in read-only mode, LibO should feel as much as a
PDF reader as possible to avoid annoying the user while e.g.
proof-reading his own document or just reading someone else's
document.
Also, note that we don't show the Formatting toolbar (by default) in
read-only mode. We also don't show "invisible" cell borders, etc. So,
from my perspective, the point about this being a formatting hint
isn't really a good one.
So, basically, I'd go even further than you and say that _none_ of the
new indicators need to be visible in r-o mode.
Regards,
Astron.
