[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 105326] UI: Remove the checkboxes in the Option Menu to enable/ disable grid and snap feature in Writer

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105326

--- Comment #6 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
Agree with Jay there is no problem with the duplication of controls on the
menus. There are similar duplication for display or rulers, scroll bars,
comments, etc. going to remove those as well?

Things are consistent now that the controls (rather the associated .uno
command) are assigned to both locations and function as simple toggles, with
value recorded to user profile. The Tools -> Options -> [Module] -> View
remains a useful aggregation of all the values on a single GUI panel distinct
from button widgets on a menu.

But if we were to make a major change, such that the View -> Grid and Helplines
would be "per document" or "current session" and that Tools -> Options ->
[Module] -> View would be the "general" case and persistent to profile--i.e.
the settings for each new document/session:

the implementation would have to apply to all similar UI controls, i.e. Rulers,
Scroll bars, Comments etc. all the modal UI setting that are controlled from
the View menu and duplicated on the Tools -> Options -> [Module] -> View;

along with adding persistence, extending ODF spec to carry the setting with the
document, duplicating the .uno commands (probably needed) for each UI element
on View 

Done at that scope, very quickly not appealing and of minimal value.

-1,  WONTFIX for the whole issue.
