------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Feb 22 14:35:39 +0000 2009 ------- Let's detail all findings for possible issue splitting or fix advices: 1) Edit > Backspace appears 2 times a) both have empty descriptions under Toolbars b) the second "Backspace" seems to be useless for it does the same as the 1st one and its shortcut is Shift+Backspace which is not known to be a standard shortcut. Proposal: remove the 2d entry 2) Edit > Fields appears 2 times a) The 1st entry should not be under "Edit" but under "Options" (which itself should be called "Tools", see issue 99468) because it does "Tools - Update - Fields F9" b) As long as issue 99468 is not fixed, we cannot change those strings because: Changing "Fields" to "Update Fields" would chamge the corresponding menu to "Tools - Update - Update Fields" which doesn't in the menu context Proposal: wait for Meta issue 99468 to be fixed. 3) Edit > Links appears 2 times Exactly the same problem as 2): a) First entry at wrong place b) Can't rename without messing menu Proposal: wait for Meta issue 99468 to be fixed. 4) Insert > Formula appears 2 times Guessing this will be addressed with issue 40747 unless it is only fixed for Calc. In this case, use the same fix as Calc. Proposal: wait for Meta issue 40747 to be fixed. 5) Format > Bottom appears 2 times a) The first entry apparently refers to "Format - Frame - Typ - Position - Vertical: Bottom". It has an empty description under Toolbars. It seem to be duplicate of Category "Frame", Function "Align Bottom" b) The 2nd entry refers to the alignment of Draw objects to each other. c) Amazing is that this 2nd entry is enable even if a Writer frame is selected... But that's another bug. A functionality bug. Proposal: a) Remove the first entry b) Move the 2nd entry from "Format" to "Drawing" c) Don't change any string! Would probably create a mess in the dialogs! 6) Format > Center appears 2 times Same as 5) but there the 1st entry refers to Draw while the 2d to Frames Same proposals. 7) Format > Centered appears 3 times Same as 5) but: - the 1st entry applies to Frames (remove it as dup in "Frame") - the 2nd entry applies to Paragraphs - the 3rd entry applies to Draw objects Same proposals. 8) Format > Font color appears 2 times Both functions have basically the same use, differences: - 2nd entry also allows to call the character dialog - 1st entry seems to be the "Font color" icon from the standard Formatting toolbar Proposal: remove 2nd string if not needed. It's a real duplicate. 9) Format > Justified appears 2 times Basically the same as 5) but: - the 1st entry applies to Paragraphs - the 2nd entry applies to Draw objects Proposal: move 2nd entry to category "Drawing" 10) Format > Left 2 appears times Basically the same as 5): - the 1st entry applies to Paragraphs - the 2nd entry applies to Draw objects Proposal: move 2nd entry to category "Drawing" 11) Format > Top 2 times Same as 5) but: - the 1st entry applies to Draw objects - the 2nd entry applies to Frames (remove it as dup in "Frame") Proposal: - move 2nd entry to category "Drawing" - remove the 1st entry as dup in "Frame" I hope this analyze makes clear to anyone reads this how the "duplicate entries" problematic seems trivial to fix ("simply rename them") but IS NOT! It is complicated, resource hungry, risky and in the end is not a huge leverage in the user experience (how often does a user configures toolbars and shortcuts every day?) Hoping that the meta issue 99468 will help making such small issues easier to fix in the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
