Bug ID: 164571
Summary: Actively suggest enabling RTL/CTL (resp. CJK) when
first editing RTL/CTL (resp. CJK) content
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
One of the problems, which users of RTL, CTL and/or CJK face with LibreOffice,
is the lack of awareness of the need to enable full support for RTL/CTL and/or
for CJK, via the preferences dialog. That is meta-bug 164250.
One possible amelioration of this situation, after installation and during use,
is to prompt the user about this possibility, at an opportune time.
Specifically, suppose that we have not decided that RTL-CTL or CJK needs to be
fully enabled, on installation. But now, the user starts editing content in an
RTL-CTL or CJK language. When we notice this is happening (or happening
repeatedly), we could bring up a dialog bog, or even just an info bar, with
such a suggestion.
The last paragraph was phrased a big vaguely since there's a lot of room for
specifics and for bikeshedding here:
* What constitutes "editing": Is it typing text? Is it opening a document in
non-read-only mode, which has RTL-CTL / CJK content? Is it having the cursor on
that content? Selecting, deleting, copying it but without typing? Pasting RTL
content from elsewhere?
* Dialog box, info bar, corner indication or something else? Note this means a
choice of how "strong" the interruption is vs how easy it is to ignore/dismiss.
* When exactly to bring up the UI element? The first time such editing occurs?
When the document with such edited content is saved? When a document already
edited is opened for the second time? etc.
