------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Mar 3 04:00:39 +0000 2009 ------- The user thinks that 'Cancel' is confusing and could cause someone to think to cancel loading openoffice instead of cancel recovery of the document. Perhaps changing Cancel to Cancel Recovery or something like that would be more obvious to the user? -- >From the Ubuntu bug report: " When openoffice has been killed without document changes saved, and then started up again, a document recovery window appears and you have the option to "Start Recovery" or "Cancel." Since you just started openoffice, when you read the "Cancel" option it is very likely you will think it means that you are going to cancel the opening of openoffice which you don't want to do. If the message said something like, "Don't recover." and in the text above that explains these, "Don't recover, if you would rather never recover the documents below." or something like that. You are likely a good word smith, and can improve on it, but the present "Cancel" is misleading. This is even more annoying because if you read a document from the web that is stored in /tmp and then you reboot, that file doesn't exist, and so it remains on the list to recover, but fails every time. What you really need to do is press "Cancel," but that sounds so much like saying "I don't want to open openoffice that you just keep dealing with the recovery window. At least I did!
