            Bug ID: 87923
           Summary: RULER: Hiding only the horizontal ruler
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: ux-advise

I decided to take the default no ruler interface for a spin and i've come to
see two disadvantages that i feel warrant the return of the vertical ruler.

1) The vertical ruler provides two useful functionalities that cant be achieved
without opening the paragraph dialog - indentation and tab stops. It is easy to
see and adjust both of these very easily with the ruler enabled.

2) The vertical ruler also provides a section to show and hide comments in a
document without having to open up the view menu, a useful feature introduce in
4.1.

This same top only ruler view is also available in Google Docs and WordPerfect,
and feel it would be the best for our users.
