Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|minor |normal Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #8 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> --- I'm not entirely sure about the status of this discussion or this constellation of bugs. I'm provisionally treating this bug as the correct location to discuss the no-direct-formatting case, while bug 139359 discusses somehow minimizing the set of inserted direct formatting. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > While unnecessary DF should be avoided, the few attributes wont break many > documents and don't outweigh a more complex and cluttered UI. See bug 138966 for an example of a user trying to use Insert Special Characters as a soft keyboard for typing uncommon diacritics in their language. We do a much better job now rendering diacritics that are in a separate span from the base text, but it's not perfect, and it isn't what most users of diacritic-heavy languages would want or expect. Currently, we are trading possible UI clutter for having to externally educate users that if they insert diacritics or other combining characters, they must clear formatting to get the output they expect. (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #7) > (In reply to Jonathan Clark from comment #6) > > *** Bug 138966 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** > > So, can we confirm this now? :-\ Yes. In my opinion, there is an unaddressed need for a soft keyboard for uncommon diacritics in LO. I think we still need common understanding of what should be done, but the need exists. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
