--- Comment #8 from BDF <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #7) > Wouldn't add those (icon-only) buttons to the control but as floating > mini-toolbar as known from MS Word and requested in bug 87040. > > Excel works currently the same as Calc, by the way. The mini-icons are just an example (even though I would be fine if it was implemented that way - just a little larger) Ideas behind this: - The bar to edit the comment is really obvious. The comment field does not really say "Hey, BTW: You can customise me!". I used comments for years before even noticing it. Thereby a *only* having the options at the top is something that is may not as effective as it could be. - The icons next to the window (or as mini-toolbar) is something that tells the user right away that they can do more with their comments. This could get into people's workflow, so you should be able to turn it off. - I (who considers himself has advanced user) would be more than likely use hotkeys as much as possible. So I wouldn't be happy if there was only the edit bar at the top or the floating mini-toolbar. Yet I can understand that new users (or maybe even experienced ones) won't know or are not willing to hunt in the documentation for features. That Calc currently works the same as Excel (or Excel works currently the same as Calc) is not something I would take in account for such a feature. For file saving as *.xlsx you would have to, but not as general rule to copy or keep out what Excel does or doesn't do ("The great should not be constrained by the small"). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
