[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- I looked into this issue by investigating how the behavior differs between different OpenOffice products and on the other hand competitive products. CONFIGURATION: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 OpenOffice 4.1.3 (English [US]) Microsoft Office 2013 LibreOffice 5.2.3.3 *OpenOffice 4.1.3* ** Writer (attached a GIF animation demonstrating how the product behaves when you click font size field - I will call it Highlight In 3rd Click [HI3C]) ** Calc (HI3C) ** Impress (HI3C) ** Draw (HI3C) CONCLUSION: In OpenOffice products it appears to be a default approach to NOT highlight font size when you click it first time -------------------------------------- *OpenOffice 3.4.1* ** Writer (HI3C) ** Calc (HI3C) ** Impress (HI3C) ** Draw (HI3C) CONCLUSION: In OpenOffice products it appears to be a default approach to NOT highlight font size when you click it first time -------------------------------------- *Microsoft Office 2013* ** Word (attached a GIF animation demonstrating how the product behaves when you click font size field - I will call it Highlight In 1st Click [HI1C]) ** Excel (HI1C) ** Powerpoint (HI1C) CONCLUSION: In Microsoft Office 2013 products it appears to be a default approach to highlight font size when you click it first time -------------------------------------- *LibreOffice 5.2.3.3* ** Writer (HI3C) ** Calc (HI3C) ** Impress (HI3C) CONCLUSION: In LibreOffice products it appears to be a default approach to NOT highlight font size when you click it first time -------------------------------------- *Other Products* ** Google Docs (HI1C) ** Wordpad (HI1C) CONCLUSION: In two competitive products it appears to be a default approach to highlight font size when you click it first time -------------------------------------- SUMMARY >From user perspective the behavior (HI3C) of OO is not consistent with competing products and requires a bit more clicking to change the size. It is good to note though that the behavior is consistent inside OO products itself. It's also good to note that this pattern reflects to other fields (e.g. Apply Style or Font Name) - OO doesn't highlight those and competitive products (excluding LibreOffice) do. If you would change just Font Size field behavior, it would be inconsistent with other fields (e.g. Font Name field). I tried to find a conversation about the history of this behavior in OpenOffice forums, but didn't manage to find it. Considering that OpenOffice has behaved this way at least until from 3.4.1, suggests that it's been working like this for a long time, perhaps since LibreOffice development started. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
