------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 13 21:06:44 +0000 2008 ------- If Force Quit is meant to force all of Writer or OOo to quit, it should not have a dialog statement that can be understood by lay users as meaning that only a function within Writer will be forced to quit. I created a new document, without saving, and typed a short line. I pressed F7, invoking Spellcheck. The Spellcheck dialog window was blank (at other times, either it worked or it showed content from another document window). I clicked the Spellcheck dialog's close box. The Force Quit dialog that resulted had these sentences in its message: The window "Spellcheck: " is not responding. Forcing this application to quit will cause you to lose any unsaved changes. Technically, it's correct. However, most nontechnical users would read this as meaning that the application is Spellcheck, and wouldn't realize that all open documents having nothing to do with Spellcheck will also be made to go away, losing changes. I tend to think of Writer and other OOo programs as separate applications, which also turns out to be wrong, as I found when I reran the above experience but with an unsaved Impress document from 2.4.0 also open. For usability, then, reword "the application" to "this OpenOffice.org suite". On the other hand, I reran the experiment but with only the Writer 2.4 document and an Impress 2.0 document from OOo 2.0 Beta. Force Quit forced the 2.4 document to quit but the 2.0 document remained open, which is correct behavior. Thus, "application", even in the singular, refers to all of OOo within version 2.4 only. I set this as P2 because, to most nontechnically-proficient users, the loss of unsaved work would be unexpected. As a minor related point (of priority P5), the space after the colon is there in error. If it's there because it's in the title bar of the Spellcheck dialog itself, then the Force Quit dialog is right but the Spellcheck dialog is mistitled. I'm using OOo Writer 2.4.0 without Java Runtime Environment on Linux Fedora Core 4 with Gnome 2.10.0 desktop on a Pentium 4 laptop.
