Bug ID: 163725
Summary: "Delete Columns" and "Delete Rows" labels now include
gratuitous comment "(for uprotected cells)"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
At some point in the recent past, the labels for the "Delete Columns" and
"Delete Rows" commands was changed to: "Delete Columns (for uprotected cells)"
and "Delete Rows (for uprotected cells)".
This is a bad change. First, usually, no cells are protected at all in the
sheet, so the caveat is irrelevant.
Second, when the user is told that columns/rows may not be deleted, s/he is led
to believe that there actually _are_ protected cells which s/he needs to do
something about - which is not the case.
Third, this makes the labels very long, which makes context menus very wide and
the Sheet menu on the main menu bar wider than it could have been - this, while
it is doubtful that a user would assume deletion works on protected cells - as
they are protected.
