Bug ID: 159444
Summary: View/Field names can trigger confusing mode, implement
warning
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
"View/Field Names" switches the display of fields between their rendering in
the document vs. an internal representation which shows name or id of the
target to ease finding problems.
The mode can be triggered easily by accident in menu or via a keyboard shortcut
which is appearent based on the questions on ask.libreoffice (see
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159299#c1 )
A common solution to such modes is implementing a warning that announces the
mode to be triggered with the option to not show the warning again. Such a
solution was already implemented for
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155561 and is also used by
other products e.g. Firefox when entering cursor navigation via pressing F7 or
Window’s sticky keys (5x Shift).
The warning can read:
"You activated Field Names. This will show the names of fields not as they
appear in the final document but with their internal identifiers. Do you want
to activate Field Names?
Don't show again [ ]
Yes/ No"
Steps to Reproduce:
Click View/Field Names or press Ctrl+F9
Actual Results:
Activates internal field names instead of final rendering of the document; some
of the field names are random IDs.
Expected Results:
Enable people to activate the mode, but prevent accidental activation
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Might be a relativly easy fix?
