Bug ID: 166814
Summary: Track Changes Reinstate feature should open the
comment dialog as incentive to add comment
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The rationale of the reinstate feature: "Reinstate is meant to improve this
interaction: if an insert is reinstated, then an explicit delete is created on
top of the insert, so Alice can see that Bob was not happy with the proposal"
See: https://vmiklos.hu/blog/sw-redline-reinstate.html
Reinstating something without any clue how or why is not very productive, IMHO.
I would except the comment dialog from -> Edit -> Track Changes -> Comment to
appear to comment on the reinstatement. It's might be useful for author; why
did I reinstate this; or for other participants
I also would expect the comment to appear as mouse over in document. The
comment isn't included in the mouse-over. It's only shown in Edit -> Track
Changes -> Manage dialog as far I'm aware
Steps to Reproduce:
1. New document in Writer
2. Entered "Hello world"
3. Start tracking changes
5. Delete 'Hello'
6. Right-clicked the "Hello"
7. Chose "Reinstate Change"
8. Hover over the Change: tooltip appears with deleted 'by' and date.
Actual Results:
The change is reinstated, but doesn't explain why
Expected Results:
There should be incentive to add a comment to the re-instatement
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
