Bug ID: 167785
Summary: "Freeze rows and columns" context menu item should
indicate which columns will be frozen
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The "Freeze rows and columns" item in the context menu of column and row
numbers is confusing, because they apply to the rows above or columns to the
left of the event source.
It would help a lot if the context menu said "Freeze rows above" when the event
source is a row number, and "Freeze columns to the left" if the source is a
column number.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on a row or column number.
2. Pick "Freeze rows and columns" item.
Actual Results:
If it's the first row/column, nothing is frozen. If it's not, the frozen
row/column is different from the event source.
Expected Results:
Freeze the column or row (and those preceding it vertically or horizontally, as
necessary) that I had right clicked on.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
As this page shows, this is something that confounds users with some frequency.
Having to look this kind of thing is very distracting and frustrating.
