--- Comment #4 from ady <[email protected]> --- I'm not sure anymore in/to which enhancement request I should post feedback (of the several reports opened in the last few weeks related to adding UI features regarding comments in Calc). In the cell’s context / right click menu, we used to have (until LO 7.6 included): * for cells with no comments, 1 entry "Insert Comment"; * for cells that already have a comment, 3 entries: Edit, Delete, Show comment (or Hide Comment instead of the latest, still 3 entries max). After the changes related to Calc comments introduced in the last few weeks, we now have, at all times, permanently, unconditionally, 5 items in the cell's context menu: Insert, Edit, Delete, Show, Hide Comments. Moreover, if we select/focus on just one cell, only part of these 5 items can be applied at any time: * without a comment, only 1 item is usable, 4 are wasting screen space and bothering (which clearly explains the 2+ different alternative menus I described above). * in a cell with a comment, 2 items are not usable. Insert Comment cannot be usable at the same time as Edit Comment, ever, so what’s the point of having them simultaneously in the context menu? Similarly, Show and Hide Comment should not be displayed simultaneously, and not at all when there is no comment to be shown nor hidden. I could describe each and every item and conditions, but probably you get the point by now. When selecting _more than 1_ cell, of which some have a comment and some do not, the result of each of these items is unclear/undefined, which makes them even more confusing and more of a waste (of screen usability / visibility, if nothing else). OTOH, I can think of several alternatives that might result useful in some situations. I hope this new permanent waste and abuse of screen areas can be reduced to a minimum, not more than the really necessary; more similar to what it used to be until recently. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
