------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Dec 28 10:03:57 +0000 2008 ------- (This is a follow-up to closed/Invalid Issue 95582.) You are typing along, and a little yellow box with black letters pops up, with a suggestion. Problem - do you: (a) recognize an Edit > AutoText offering, and press F3; (b) recognize a Tools > AutoCorrect > Word Completion entry, and press whatever response-key you've chosen (F3 is not among the available choices); (c) recognize an ambiguity, and file an RFE. Having one stimulus with two different responses is a violation of learning principles, and hence of good UI design, so this does need fixing. The following suggestions range from "easy" to "a lot of work". I would be happy with any of them, but I recommend all, in the long run. 1) Arbitrarily change box background color for either one. (This is probably a one-line fix.) 2) Go a little further, and add both to the Tools > Options > OO.o > Appearance color-selection dialog. (Probably easy. Note: accessibility credits for doing this, for color-blind users.) 3) Add key F3 to the user-selectable options for accepting Word Completion. 4) Put both AutoText and AutoCorrect on the same menu. Possible choices include Tools, Edit, and Insert, but this is less important than having them together. 5) Move the whole Word Completion feature out of AutoCorrect and into AutoText, where it is a better conceptual fit. (Probably a lot of work.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
